Nice! Someone else on here already mentioned it but ideally you want to mash the onions, chiles and garlic into a paste first before incorporating the tomatoes. This accomplishes two things. 1) Promotes even flavoring and consistency throughout the salsa. 2) Will save you time (and your fingers/hands) from having to wrestle through the tomatoes to get the rest of the ingredients to meld well together. I'm sure you know but for anyone reading that hasn't ever used a molcajete, there is A LOT of elbow grease involved in making salsa the traditional way. Great job btw. Looks delicious! :D
I recall my grandmother toasting the veggies on the comal. 🤗
this isthe way. my mom, gma did it the same way....at the very least, people should roast the chiles, garlic and onion on the comal!!
Yeah, I have never used to oven for this, but it wouldn't hurt to try it. I will see if there is a difference
My husband LOVED this salsa!!! It is now my go to recipe! Thank you!!!
I'm binge watching your content right now. I love your recipes!
Like your recipes, reminds me of my childhood but I'm sorry to tell you that the proper order in using the molcajete is: first garlic, then jalapeño, onion and last the tomato, the reason is the hardness of each ingredient, you start with the hardest to the softest and in that order you won't struggle at all smashing all your ingredients. God bless
Thank you for the tip and I've never played attention to that. Good to know. 😁👍 Blessings to you and yours. 💖
Have you ever thought of making videos in Spanish?
I live in México and have lots of friends but don´t speak english
Roasted garlic is easiest I go onion pepper then garlic then tomatoes to add body(volume).
I agree. Its all entero and boludo. Many pieces don't look smashed at all, just covered in tomato sauce.
Theres no proper way what matters how it turns out and hers turned out ausome
Thank you for getting right into the preparation, / cooking,
and not rambling on for 10 minutes first 🙄 about things that have nothing to do with making the dish!!!! 😂😂 LOL!!! Bravo! 😁
MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!! 😍
I love this I decided a molcajete set up is what I want for Christmas this year.
Thank you for your recipes , I love your channel! Keep up the good work 😊Your voice is pleasing & your dishes are easy to make , you explain them so well!!! I made your Posole my kids loved it! Making it again tomorrow for rest of my family! Again thank you thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you. I have a molcajete now and can't wait to use it!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! I've made this multiple times... In fact, it's now a requirement in my home. My molcajete is too small (my grandmother's, it's over 100 years old) so I just use my blender. Either way, it's delicious! And today I'm adding some cilantro and lime juice like a nice person here suggested... LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!
Thank you! This is excellent and it has become a favorite of ours. It is super versatile. Excellent presentation!
I make it just like you show except that I take the seeds out of the jalapeño for a milder sauce, and I pulse the cooled ingredients carefully in a food processor several times to make the consistency just like you show it. I don't have a molcajete or similar tool.
you are a 1st class chef. you have no idea how good you are
I need a molcajete! I have all the ingredients so today I'm blending the salsa! yummy!
My wife bought me the same "rock bowl with rock stick" a couple years ago. Now I know what it is called and what it is for :)
Where did she get it from im looking for one of this size and i feel like the pestle would feel the best for grinding. I just cant find one
Haha rock bowl and rock stick 😂
Ik🤣🤣I’m like oí este guey
🤣🤣🤣🤣 rock bowl rock stick. I freaking love it. Lol
You need to cure it before using it! I didn’t know that! 😫
Such a great voice on your videos. Very calm and clear with your videos. Love your site! Thank you!
Great video - I love using the molcajete - I feel more connected to the food and also my ancestors - it’s a bit of a spiritual connection. It’s very authentic. You have a wonderful speaking voice. Thank you ❤
Thank you for your demonstration!
Looks good Thanks For Sharing I Will Try It Thank You!
Wow! Very inspiring. I will make this this week.
Ok this is the second video of yours I've seen that i liked LOL if i see one more then I'm subscribing. Straight up.
so simple i love it
I can’t wait to try this. I Just received my new molcajate yesterday from amazon it looks exactly like yours same color. I Have never used one before and, there was no instructions on what I need to do with it or take care of it. I’m an Tlingit Indian from southeast Alaska. Don’t know much about cooking Mexican foods but, I’m trying.I wish I could come to your kitchen so you can teach all that delicious foods you make.
I’m 11 and I still cook so I’m looking forward to THAT RECIPE
This looks delicious!
🌺💖One of my favorites! Sooo good! 🌺💖
Thank you :)
I'm a long-time subscriber and I have your cookbook. I love going back and watching the old videos! I recently bought a large molcajete and I will try this recipe. I'm not a lover of really hot food, so I will take the seeds out of the jalapeno, but I love salsa. Thanks for all the recipes and videos! So sorry about your Facebook page getting taken over. I hate how other people take advantage of legit content makers, just because they are too lazy to put in the work themselves. Keep up the great work!
Nice recipe gonna give it a try

always mash all ingredients before the tomatoes, to get a chunkier/rustic salsa. love your recipee...its very similar to what I cooked recently on my channel...except i used some dried chiles. i've liked and subscribed! keep these videos coming!
\
How large is your mortor and pistel? I keep watching your video’s over and over again. Can’t get enough of your wonderful instructions. Great stuff young lady. Thank you and please continue with more of your recipes.
I love how ur salas turn out
Muchas Gracias 🙏 I have a Molcajete ✅❤️🇲🇽
Just made this after conditioning my mortar omg its soo good and its cheap to make, only thing expensive thing was the bag of corn chips. I added some cilantro leaves at the end and a half teaspoon of lime juice.
Gonna try this! Thanks for the suggestion!
looks good mama :-)
If I want to add cilantro, should I add it with the tomatoes or at the end?
Thank you.
Gee, I really want to get me a Molcajete and make salsa. I wonder where I find one? I hope you come back and tell me and thanks for amazing videos!! I appreciate you so much!! Please tell me where to buy a Molcajete, thank you! I enjoyed how you showed us to use it!!!
I bought it at Kroger. 😊
Yummy 😋
Yummy!
Thank You* I have always wanted a traditional molcajete like yours and my mom's. But mine looks more ceramic stone with rough insides. It's pretty big. But I here the traditional keeps the seasoned flavors. Is this true? Thanks💕🦋
I think it does keep a seasoned flavor as the material is porous. :)
Can you make steak picado or Chile rellano, or green chicken pozole!! I love watching your cooking videos!
Thank you! Here's the link to my chile relleno video. 😁 ruclips.net/video/1s0nkKLnv4c/видео.html
Oh boy. I was in a hurry and couldn't find the salsa recipe made with jalapeños and tomatoes so I just sort of winged it. It came out good, according to my son and his gf but still, I came back and found this recipe.
Wow. So only ONE jalapeño?! I used a whole pound of them. I took most of the veins out, but left plenty of seeds, and some I just took the tops off. I also roasted some of them in a pan, 'cause that's all I had and in 101F temps didn't want to turn on the oven. The majority I boiled for about 10 mins, after the water came to a boil I put them in. The tomatoes, some were roasted, some fresh, some boiled with the jalapeños.
Finally, I was putting everything in a 3 qt stainless steel pot, so I just added the leaves of an entire bunch of cilantro, and stick blended the lot. I put the salsa into clean glass jars (I filled a 1 qt Mason jar + 1 Herdez jar that had held guacamole salsa), which I've stuck in the fridge.
I'm not Mexican nor Latina but living in Texas has been an eye opener in terms of food! Love it!! And I want to learn some more! And yeah, buying your cookbook when I get my pension next month!!!
one jalapeno to 3 tomatoes seems absurd....i like my stuff spicy so I stick with 1 hot pepper per tomato....in my recent recipe i used 5 dried chiles to 5 tomatoes....i would have gone more pppers...except the dried chiles i used were SUPER spicy so it was perfect for me. PRO TIP: use serranos instead of jalapenos...serranos are more consistent in spiciness than jalapenos
YUM!
keep up the great recipes! could u make carne en su jugo?
Thank you! Yes! Carne en su jugo is soo good.
Gochujang Mamá I saw a video where you boiled the veggies-how long do you boil the veggies ?
Yum....!
Nice, I like using a molcajete to make chili.
Good tip! :)
Gracias
U $ Got the cilantro !!! :-)
Nice Ima get my molcajete from Kroger I saw one the other day so glad I dnt have to order it online Saludos
That's where I bought mine too. :) Saludos!
Niceee
I want to get a molcajete and would prefer to order online but I don't want to get junk. Can you recommend a supplier? Do you have a video on seasoning one?
Where do I find the description box?
does using a molcajete really make difference over pulsing it in a Vitamix to the right consistency? I feel it's "tradition" thing versus a better result.
💜
Are onions always difficult to mash? I’ve had to add fresh because of the onions.
I have blender dint have one.is that ok
❤️
Does adding oregano make it a different kind of salsa
When did you add the jalapeno and grind it up?
That stone You smashing the ingredients with is called "tejolote".
😋🍽
When I use it I feel some of the rock bits get in the salsa idk maybe I’m too heavy handed... definitely going to give it a try ...
You're supposed to season it before you use it to knock out the loose bits. There's a video around here somewhere...
What’s a vegetable wash?
Can you use a blender instead??
Would like to see a Super Molcajete with Shrimp, Chicken, Beef, cactus, peppers... Please!
this song is so lit
I've noticed some Molcajete's are smooth and some are really rough, does it make a difference?
The one in this video was fairly new. I seasoned it, but I think over time as I use it more, it should start to smooth out. I remember the one's my grandmother owned long ago were a lot smoother. I think the material is different in some.
Where did you purchase this mortar can I get the details
dont do amazon....reason being is you will get a product that isnt volcanic rock....an authentic volcanic rock mortar is what you want, otherwise you are wasting your time. I got mine because it was gifted. it was bought in mexico city. hopefuly you have at least one contact in mexico who is able to get you the real deal!!!
Forgive my ignorance but why no cilantro? Is that more of a TexMex idea?
I'm going to make my own salsa with Carolina reapers
What size is your morter in inches across?
it looks average, 1 quart size.so comparing to mine, i'd assume 6-7 inches in diameter
How much does a molcajete like that cost ?
What we're you making...Tomato Sauce?
So this is like Mexicano blender, Haha 🤣
Itzansril Sis jes
Might be easier mashing peppers and garlic first. Tomatoes last. Great vid!
peppers and garlic...always first....tomatoes are last...so u can control how chunky the salsa is. i personally dont like the tomatoes all mashed up...i like some consistency
Lucky your husband.
You forgot the cilantro. Looks better and tastes better too!
Omgosh! Where can I get a grinder like that ma'am?!!! I want one please
No cilantro or lime?
What size molcajete is it?
seems like quart size, which is average. you can fit about 5 tomatoes on there without oversplling. when i make a large amount of salsa, i usually split it all apart into 2. it's usualy enough
I could smell the onion from here
Making this right now. My garlic burned badly, so I'm just going to do raw... 🙂
Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm doing that now. I'm used to working with different ingredients so I ended up splashing the salsa everywhere (autopilot's a bitch sometimes) because I like to bash the bejeezus out of things.
@@SorenPenrose Cool! Unfortunately, I tossed the entire mixture. It was a slimy, disgusting mess. Idk where I went wrong, but I'll stick to making salsa in my Tupperware appliances.
@@andthe2become1flesh93 dont overcook your garlic!!!!.....I am sorry but if you are going to lean towards a crappy blended salsa over one you create in a molcajete...i feel kinda soryf or you, lol
Why do people bang the garlic with a knife? Is it to peel it easier?
Yes
I bash it with a mortar and pestle. And sometimes a knife. But yes.
yes...have you ever done it? smashing garlic with aknife like that, makes it easier to take the skin off...DUH!
This is the Hey Bear song
Don’t forget the tomatillos
Is your molcajete granite?
Yes and the brand is IMUSA. :)
@
I've been reading that Basalt is preferred over the granite. What are you thoughts?
I think basalt molcajetes are what I grew up with and grind better. My grandmother had two and they were the best. The granite one works good, but it is different. These days I am not using my molcajete all the time, so that could also be a reason I find it feeling different. If you are going to purchase one go for the Basalt one, I think the surface texture grinds better. :)
@
So you're using a blender or food processor more? I'm wondering if I'd use the molcajete regularly if I had one. lol
