Yield: 1 to 2 cups Heat Scale: Medium Salsa Variations: Ecuadorians are very fond of putting beans in their salsa. The most popular beans are the lupini, which are large white beans about the size of lima beans. Just add the cooked beans directly to the salsa. On several occasions, the writer encountered salsas with peanut butter as an ingredient. Add 1 t. peanut butter with the chiles in the blender and follow the above recipe. NOTE: This is a classic Latin American salsa, and the writer has included some optional preparation methods which are fairly unique to Ecuador and the Andes. Although this recipe calls for the use of an electric blender, one can follow the traditional method of using a mortar and pestle. nancy lee Yield: 1 servings Chinese Recipes - Indian Recipes - Italian Recipes - German Recipes MENU
