Chiles processing

Ingredients

Directions

In these recipes, the chiles and tomatoes can be toasted by holding them over an open flame and charring the peel on all sides, or they can be roasted, by placing them under a broiler and turning occasionally until charred all over. In either case, the peppers are wrapped in moist cloth or place in a wet bag for a while before peeling the skins off. The tomatoes can be peeled as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Salsa cruda means Raw Sauces. These are all uncooked and based on chiles and tomatoes.
