Ingredients

• Grape Seed Oil – 1 cup

• Chiles de árbol – 1 oz

• Garlic cloves – 4

• Kosher Salt – 1 tsp

Step by Step instructions for making authentic salsa macha recipe

• Preparing the Chiles: Remove the stems of your chiles de árbol. You can also remove the seeds of chiles if you prefer milder salsa. Seeds of chiles contribute to the heat of the salsa. Do not forget to wear the Kitchen gloves to protect your hands because chiles de árbol are quite spicy. 
• Infusing the Oil: Heat the grape seed oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves to the hot oil. Let the garlic cook for 3 minutes until it turns to golden brown color and softens. Take out the pan from heat. 
• Adding the Chiles: Add the chiles in the oil. Stir them until they are softened by the heat of oil and release fragrant aroma. Avoid overheating by letting the oil cool down a bit if necessary. This is necessary because overheating can cause bitterness. After about a minute, chiles will have released their fragrance and flavor into the oil. 
• Cooling the Mixture: Allow the mixture of garlic, oil, and chiles to cool down to room temperature. 
• Blending the Salsa: After cooling down the mixture, transfer the mixture including garlic, oil, and chiles to the blender and add kosher salt to it. Blend the mixture until it is finely chopped but not completely pureed. 
• Store the Salsa Macha: Finally, pour the prepared salsa macha into an  airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator. 
• Serve: Take out the stored salsa macha and stir it before serving because the oil naturally separates when stored. 

Chef Recommendations

• Dry the Chiles Thoroughly: After purchasing the chiles wash them thoroughly and dry them completely before adding to the hot oil. Dry them with a damp paper towel or rinse them ahead of the time. This is necessary because oil and water can create dangerous splatters. 
• Prevent Burning: Lower the heat or remove the pan from heat when you add chiles to the oil. This is because chiles can burn quickly and their flavor will be unpleasant and bitter. If they are burned, discard them and start over. 
• Choose a Neutral Oil: Any oil with a high smoke point can be used for making this authentic salsa macha recipe. Grape seed oil works perfect for this recipe but you can also use canola, vegetable, or avocado oil.
