Smoky Tomato Chili Salsa Recipe

Name: Smoky Tomato Chili Salsa
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Pumpkin seeds; 20 pieces Good ripe tomatoes--campanile, kumamoto or roma. Roma is fine; 2 pieces Dried Guajillo Chili; 3 cups New Mexico dried chili (the small red common one); 5 piece Dried chipotle chile (not in adobo sauce-that will change the flavor); 1/4 cup White vinegar; 1 packet Chicken stock, condensed; 1 bunch Cilantro; 1 tablespoon Sea salt; 2 piece Dried habanero chili

Servings: persons

1
Cook the dried chilis with vinegar, salt, a slight amount of sugar (I use stevia) and some water.
2
Meanwhile, cut romas in half and put cut side down on a baking sheet. Put them under the broiler until blistered and skin is partially blackened.
3
Roast pepitas in a skillet over low heat, or in the oven on low heat. Watch carefully so they're toasted, not burnt.
4
Taste chili/vinegar mixture for balance, and add tomatoes.
5
Puree in blender (careful with the heat). Slowly add pumpkin seeds. You want a burnt orange color, and slightly thick consistency.
6
Add chopped cilantro and adjust salt. Serve with chips of vegetables.
