My dad currently owns two fishing boats that operate out of Hotel Buena
Vista Beach Resort, just down the beach from where I live. He named them
both after his female Shih Tzu, Dusty. The new boat is Dusty B III and
the first boat is the Dos. The captain of la Tres is Vicente Cosio — a
great friend of ours. His mom, María has a restaurant called El
Corral in their backyard where she and her sister Vicki serve baked potatoes
filled with crema, butter and carne asada. She serves them with an array
of salsas. Her red salsa de arbol rocks. This salsa is meant to be fairly
hot, and it is, but it’s one of my favorites! I love it over chiles rellenos.
Makes about a quart.
20 – 25 chiles de arbol, lightly toasted
1 cup water
6 large tomatoes
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 ancho chiles, slightly toasted
1 medium white onion, puréed
6 cloves garlic, puréed
3 tbsp cider vinegar
Salt to taste
In large skillet, lightly toast the chiles over medium high heat, about
5 minutes. Remove and place in one cup water to soak. In same skillet,
roast the tomatoes over high heat in oil until blackened, about 20 minutes.
Set aside in bowl. Do not clean the skillet! Loosen blackened pieces of
tomato and stir in soaked chiles, onions and garlic. Boil over medium high
heat about 10 minutes. Place tomatoes in blender or food processor and
liquefy. Pour into bowl. Repeat with onion, garlic and chile mixture. Pour
into bowl, add cider vinegar and salt and chill at least an hour. Will
keep several days in the refrigerator, or part can be frozen for later.
