Ingredients

5 Puya peppers
5 Arbol peppers
1 small garlic clove unpeeled
¼ cup of cooking water
Salt to taste

Instructions

In an ungreased skillet, toast the peppers over a medium heat. This will be a very fast process since the peppers’ skin burns easily, and that gives them an unpleasant bitter taste, so be sure to turn them and roast the peppers without burning them. About 1 minute.
Place peppers in a small saucepan and cover with water. Cook until soft over a medium-high heat. About 10 minutes.
In the same skillet, roast the garlic until it’s soft and has some brown spots. Cool and remove peel.
Once the peppers and garlic have cooled, place them in a blender with ¼ cup of the cooking water. Process until you have a very smooth sauce and season with salt. This salsa keeps well for several days, and just a few drops are enough to add spiciness to your meals.
