food EoS Salsa Cookout... Got Tips?

[salsalady]

I believe the literal translation of SALSA is SAUCE.   So what is a "sauce"?  Could be a Tabasco or Tapatio hot sauce, a salad dressing, meat gravy, cream gravy, pico-style fresh,  alfredo-esque, (mole???), fruit jam/jelly, ...technically they would all fall under the term salsa/sauce.  Makes it interesting for discussions. 
 
The HuffPost link looks delish.  Interesting that it calls for a canned chipotle pepper, which is usually in adobo sauce. 
 
and at ~shag~,  maybe the plant you purchased as a chipotle was a regular jalapeno that would become a chipotle after being grown out to red and smoke dried???    I'm just looking for the bright side of that story  :shrug:  
 
Good Luck and Have FUN!!!

The derail queen is trying hard for the 2017 crown!  Next time you ask me for chips and salsa, I'm going to give you some Smucker's jam and poker chips.

He's an example of a salsa from dried chiles, they are not always oily, this one is supposed to be, has great flavor. Anyhoo thought you might want to check it out.

When you delve into the world of salsa, you'll realize using tomatoes is more of an American thing. Most Mexican salsas are peppers and smooth not chunky, pico de gallo has tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and what we call salsa is based on that.

Nice Pooks...bookmarked to make later in season.
