Because of this I had to buy a molcajete from Sur la Table!! It's actually harder than you would think to find a good quality molcajete in the US.
Let me tell you she likes her salsa hot!! She makes it in my mom's molcajete, which I desperately tried to get here to give to me, but she refused. Over the years she has become more of a companion for my mother and a beloved part of our family. She was my nanny, as well as the house cook, and seamstress. I wish I had a housekeeper!!! She has worked with us for over 20 yrs. This recipe is from our housekeeper Polita, or I should say my parents' housekeeper. It is a staple in all Mexican homes, super easy to make, even if you don't have a molcajete, and it adds a perfect touch of spiciness to any meal. They are ground down in an authentic Mexican molcajete. This salsa molcajeteada combines pan roasted tomatoes, garlic, and peppers to make a spicy and hearty salsa.
