Salsa Macha is nothing like the glorified ketchup you find on supermarket shelves.
It’s made with slowly fried chipotles and toasted peanuts infused in a vibrant, hot, red chili oil. It’s the Mexican answer to chili crisp. This one uses chipotle peppers—dried jalapenos that are gently dehydrated over a low flame, so there’s a subtle smokiness that comes through that you wouldn’t get if the peppers were sun-dried.
