Salsa Verde Recipe

- 1/4 onion
- 2 jalapeños
- 1 garlic clove
- Fresh cilantro
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Roast the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic on a hot comal or griddle until they are nicely charred, releasing their smoky flavor.
- In the Molcajete Yolia, start by grinding the garlic and onion until smooth.
- Add the roasted tomatillos and jalapeños to the molcajete and grind to your desired consistency—whether you prefer it chunky or smooth.
- Stir in freshly chopped cilantro and add salt to taste.

Salsa Roja Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 Roma tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 onion
- 2 dried chiles de árbol
- Salt to taste

Instructions:
Start by toasting the dried chiles de árbol on a comal until they are fragrant, then set them aside.
Roast the tomatoes, garlic, and onion until lightly charred to enhance their rich flavor.
In the Molcajete Yolia, grind the garlic, onion, and chiles until you achieve a smooth paste.
Add the roasted tomatoes and grind them until smooth.
Finish by seasoning with salt to taste, adjusting to your preference.
Pair this fiery salsa roja with tacos, grilled meats, or simply enjoy it as a delicious dip!

Bring Tradition to Your Kitchen with the Molcajete Yolia
Both of these salsas shine even brighter when made using our Volcanic Stone Molcajete Yolia. Handcrafted from premium volcanic stone, the Yolia molcajete helps release the natural oils and flavors from your ingredients, creating a bold, authentic taste that you simply can’t get with a blender.
