Ingredients
1 cup grape seed oil
1 oz dry, chiles de arbol
4 garlic, cloves
1 tsp salt, kosher
Directions
- If the chilis you are using have a stem, go ahead and remove it. To reduce the heat you can also remove the seeds by cutting them open. Chiles de arbol tend to be spicy, feel free to wear kitchen gloves.
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Pour in the oil and allow it to get nice and hot.
- Place the garlic in the oil. Let it soften and become golden brown. About 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the chilis. Keep an eye on them because if they burn it will ruin the salsa by making it extremely bitter. If you need to, lower the heat. As soon as the the chilis release their fragrance remove from the oil, about 1 minute. When transferring them to a heat proof container feel free to carefully remove the pan from the heat.
- Allow the oil, chilis and garlic to cool down to room temperature.
- Transfer everything to the blender including the oil. Additionally, add in the kosher salt and blend until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Pour into an air tight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes
- Were you wondering If I washed the red chilis? I did. IMPORTANT: water and hot oil DO NOT mix. Rinse them under water and allow them to air dry completely before using. I suggest you do this the day before or as soon as you buy them, then store in an air tight container when dry. You can also clean with a damped paper towel to speed up the process.
- It’s important to make sure the chilis do not burn. Feel free to lower the heat if needed. If they burn, discard and start with a fresh batch because it will turn your salsa extremely bitter.
- You can use any neutral oil for this recipe
