Interesting ...using soy for the salt content, no lime or acid ingredient ?

Did your grandmother use dried chile de arbol? Rehydrated, or use dry? That photo sure looks like a lot more than 1 pepper.

I've done something similar a few times. Roasted salsa has a great flavor.

that is similar to my go to grilled salsa. Recipe I got from Rick Bayless Lazy Salsa I like the texture of just chopping the onion stirring it through and not whirling it up in the FP with the rest of the ingredients

yeah dried chile de arbol like you get in a big bag at mexican store. use 1 or two of the pods you put it on the grill too, it gets rehydrated in the processor.

Very nice. I make a Salsa Roja with dried chiles, but they get a quick fry first, before going in the blender.
