Backed up by flavorful Guajillo chiles (a favorite in Mexico for salsas, stews and sauces), this saucy salsa is slightly sweet and spicy with the punch of a bloody Mary.

Time 1h50m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

15 guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1/4 medium white onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
1 medium tomato, stemmed and halved
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Celery leaves for garnish
Celery sticks, tortilla or vegetables chips for serving
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons vodka
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the chiles and onions in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chiles are tender, about 20 minutes. Drop the tomato in about 5 minutes before the chiles are done. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Put the cooked vegetables, the reserved 1 cup of cooking liquid, the vinegar, sugar, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender, and then puree until very smooth.
  • Pour the chili-tomato mixture into a mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Use a rubber spatula to help push the mixture through until only the chili and tomato skins remain in the strainer. Discard them.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the strained chili-tomato mixture and cook, stirring and scraping up the bottom frequently, until thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the horseradish, vodka, Worcestershire and some salt. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with celery leaves and a swirl of horseradish. Serve with celery sticks or chips.
