A great use of the New Mexican Red chile...this is a little on the spicy side. This is a great salsa using the whole chiles. When combined with the toasted tomatillos, you get a wonderful fresh tasting salsa. The cascabel is also called the "jingle-bell" chile because of its shape and noise the seeds make when it is dry. It is one of those peppers that defies the rule about the point of the pepper indicating the heat - the sharper the point, the hotter it is reputed to be. Tandy's mom used to call these "sofa pillows". These delicious puffs of fried bread are usually served with butter and/or honey. The Los Chileros mix makes them easy to prepare. |
