Cooking Instructions

  1. Salsa Diabla
  • In a pot, add 50 ml oil & stir fry garlic cloves & 1/4 of the sliced onion over medium-high heat. 
  • When the onion turns transparent, reduce to medium heat, add cleaned chilies, & stir frequently to avoid burning. 
  • After 3 minutes, add 3 tomatoes cut into quarters & cook for a further 5 minutes. 
  • Add salt, pepper, orange juice, tomato sauce, & enough water to cover. Cook covered on low heat for 10 minutes. 
  • While the salsa cooks, slice the remaining tomatoes & onion. 
  • After 10 minutes, blend the salsa, strain to remove solids. 
  • In a large pan, sauté the remaining sliced onion for 2 minutes, then add the sliced tomato for another 2 minutes. Add the blended salsa diabla & cook for a further 10 minutes. 
  • Adjust salt if needed, & the salsa diabla is ready!
