This marinated salsa – more like a pickle or relish – is sweet, mildly spicy, and beguiling.
It is a very versatile salsa, too, as you can use it like a regular salsa and spoon it on top of any kind of antojito, like tacos, quesadillas, and even scoop it up with chips. It can also act as a luxurious relish for grilled meat, chicken or seafood, not to mention paninis, tortas or hamburgers. You can also use it as the surprising final touch on crostinis with a base of goat or fresh cheese, or cherry tomatoes… And these are just a few options.
I am so crazy about it, I can eat it like candy. I even said so below… (right after I showed you how to make it).
Yet, one of my favorite ways to use it is as a chunky vinaigrette on top of your mozzarella and tomato salad or over a grilled romaine and red bell pepper salad that I dreamed up with this ancho chile salsa in mind.
That is how I used it on one of my PBS series episodes, where the video clip I just shared with you comes from and got a fabulous response. However, I realized after reading some of the messages like the ones below…
“Watching for the 1st time & just caught the end of something that you were just finishing & took a bite out of. You said it was simple to make & will keep in the fridge forever. It looked like a mason jar with some kind of peppers in it. Do you know what was in it? Thanks, Shelley”
“Hi i’m asking for the recipe u had in a mason jar I think it was a salsa with chili, I wish I knew the name. Can u help me please, you had it in your show when you did bbq ribs with your sister visiting. Thanks again, Cecilia”
“You made something on the Sunday, September 21st TV show that had long dried black peppers that you cut with scissors. You made this jam or salsa and put it in the refrigerator. You said you put it on everything. You keep it in your refrigerator with backup available. Please give me this recipe. Thank you, Crystal”
“Pati, What was in the jar that you made that you said you keep in the refrigerator and eat like candy from the girls just want to have fun episode. It was a pickled something can you tell me what that was? Adam”
“Hi Pati, I always enjoy watching your show. However I missed the first part of your ancho chile vinaigrette. Did u use dried chile or fresh chile? Thanks, Marj”
“Hola Paty Me gusta mucho su programa. En uno de sus programas dio la receta para hacer una conserva de chile ancho, se me pasaron los ingredientes, podria darme los ingredientes. Laura”
“Hi Pati, I just watched your show – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and you make what I thought was an Ancho Chile Relish. You said it is a staple that you keep in your icebox every day … in a ball jar! I have looked all over for the recipe – could you help me? Rita”
“Dear Pati, The show with your girl friends that you made the ribs and the drinks out in your back yard was great. But you made a dressing with chiles that you used in the salad you made with I think was onions, oil, vinegar, not too sure, but you and your sister tasted it outside your house. You kept it in the fridge. In a jar. Can you give me the recipe? It looked so tasty, you cut the chile with scissors. Thank you in advance, would appreciate a response. Thanks again. Have a great Mother’s Day!!!! Judith”
“Pati, I just caught my first show of yours on PBS. Love your passion for great food and will be watching more shows as they air! Just wondering if you have the recipe for the ancho chile sauce you made in the jar on your website somewhere? Jim”
“Hola Pati I just watched your episode that featured the Chipotle Honey Ribs. I was intrigued by the Ancho Salsa that you made and kept in the refrigerator. I tried to find it in the recipe from the episode but couldn’t find it. Any way you can post the ingredients? Thanks, Dan”
“I do not know if it’s called that but you used ancho chile cut up with a scissor and placed in a jar with other ingredients, but I have not been able to find the recipe. You can eat it alone. I do want to try it. Thank you. Love your show, Wanda”
…that the Ancho Chile Vinaigrette (or Salsa or Pickle) should have been a stand alone recipe. It deserves its very own post.
The main star of this salsa (or pickle, or vinaigrette, or relish…) is the ancho chile. A dreamy and spectacular ingredient in its own right.
Making it is so easy, simply stem and seed the anchos and cut them with a pair of scissors (that is why in some northern states versions of it are also called Salsa de Tijera).
Then you add chopped white onion, garlic…
Vegetable oil…
Rice and white vinegar, brown sugar and salt…
Mix it up, and let it do its thing… After 8 hours, you can store it in the refrigerator, and it will last as long as you have it there to finish it up (ok at least 6 months…)!
I usually add everything to a glass jar; the same one I am going to store it in. I then shake it up, close it and place it in the refrigerator. I made it in this red casserole, just to show the steps… Whichever method you choose, I promise it will be worth your while.

Most recipes tell you to prepare the chilli’s by frying for a few seconds before soaking them in hot water for 30 minutes or so. Do you just use them dry?
Pati Jinich
Sep 17
It depends on the recipe Shep, sometimes I fry them, sometimes I toast or re hydrate them and some others I just use them as they are 😉

I make several jars of this Salsa. Input it on salads, make pastas salads and use it as a topping for baked potatoes. This salsa is addictive! I will eat it out of the jar. 🤣 My husband and four girls love watching your show and making your fun recipes.

I made this while living in Mexico using the Ancho chiles in Mexico. It turned out to be very hot. What did I do wrong. the only step I skipped was rinsing the chiles first.

Hm, ancho chiles aren’t that hot…maybe you want to add a lot more onion, Lori.

This salsa/pickle/relish is maybe the best thing I have ever made! Thank you For sharing this Pati. Mucho gusto! Every time I empty the jar I make another double batch. I know you said it’ll keep for 6 months but it only lasts a day or two at my house. My whole family, AND all my friends love it! It goes well with just about everything I’ve tried it on.

what kind of fruit would go good with this salsa?
Pati Jinich
Aug 13
Hmmm well, tomatoes are a fruit and they go great with this salsa, Michael. Or tacos, quesadillas, and even scoop it up with chips. It can also be a great relish for grilled meat, chicken or seafood, not to mention paninis, tortas or hamburgers. You can also use it as the surprising final touch on crostinis with a base of goat or fresh cheese, or….cherry tomatoes.

Hi Pati, i made the relish by inadvertently using pasilla-ancho chili pods. I found the relish to have a strongly bitter taste. Could that be the pasilla element or should the relush be on the bitter side? Thanks.
Pati Jinich
Apr 24
Pasillas can be a bitter. For this recipe be sure to use ancho chiles. Sometimes in the US they are sold under the name of Pasilla. Look for wide chiles, not the thin long ones. Here’s some more info: http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/pasilla_chile/ http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/ancho_chile/

I just got back from a month in Oaxaca, our annual “flee the winter cold” trip. Came home with five packets of dried chilis so am now looking for recipes for them. My question is are the Ancho chilis is this salsa dried or fresh? If they are dried then I have a use for the package I brought back. And if the are fresh can you direct me to a recipe for dried ones. Thanks.
Love your shows and how you unpack the complexity of the Mexican cuisine.
Cheers, Joyce, Ontario, Canada

How fun, Joyce! The ancho chile is dried. Here’s some more info on them: http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/ancho_chile/ Enjoy all of the chiles you brought back!

Pati,
We love this salsa. We really do eat if right out of the jar. We had it on our venison sausage breakfast burritos and last night we added it to our bowl of ancho and adobe chili. I was making cornbread muffins to go with the chili and asked my husband if he wanted fresh jalapenos in them and he said “what would Pati do”.
You’ve become our go to for recipe inspirations.

These pickled chiles are absolutely delicious. Tonight I added them on top of rice and black beans (made those using the instructions in your cookbook because I finally found fresh epazote at the market). SO GREAT!

Pati, I saw the show where you ‘braised’ the garlic and peppers in the oil along with oregano I think, then blended everything with the other ingredients, am I correct the oregano went in the blender too?
Before reading your recipe I bought pasilla chiles, too hot or will they work do you think?
Thanks for the great show seen on Create in Miami.

Wow! I was making Nachos for dinner and was making fresh Salsa to go on top when I found this recipe. So I made this instead. My husband loved it. He was delighted with the taste and managed to eat almost the whole jar himself! I would say this was a big hit with him!
Pati

Hello Pati,
Thank you for your great site & great PBS Program. I love your stories, family & I also love how you describe the cooking process & how you make the foods you prepare sounds so delicious.
I’m such a picky eater &
I’m not a person with an adventurous pallet, but you make me want to try them!
I found your show quite by accident. I started watching it during Season 6 on PBS.
Season 3 is now showing.
You’ve made me want to visit Oaxaca & I did decide to try the Oaxaca Cheese…delicious!
I love how it melts.
This Ancho Chile is the first recipe of yours that I’ve tried to make.
When you scooped the chile into your mouth with a spoon & said “It’s like candy” I knew I just had to make this for my husband. I might even try it…lol. (I’m not much into vinegary tasting foods,
but my husband likes “all foods – Mexican”
I have 4 questions about the making of this chile:
1. What type of vegetable oil did you use in the video?
2. Is Olive Oil okay to use?
3. How much vegetable oil should we use (1/4 cup or 1/2 cup) ?
4. Is the final product supposed to he liquidy?
I think I may have used to many ancho chiles.
The Chiles in the package were small very shriveled so I guessed how many equaled the 7 you used in the video.
I just checked the Chile & it looks like the ancho chiles absorbed most of the liquid.
I made this last night, it’s still in the refrigerator, I haven’t tasted it yet.
My question is:
After adding the ingredients into the mason jar I decided to re-view your video & noticed that on the video you said you added 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
In the printed recipe it says to use 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
I used 1/2 cup canola oil.
But really wanted to use Olive oil, but I wasn’t sure if it would affect the final flavor.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Tyra
Pati
Aug 20
I’m so glad you discovered the show, Tyra! You can swap the vegetable oil for any type of oil you like, including olive oil. Use 1/2 a cup of oil (I sometimes tweak my recipes to make them even better after the show has aired…so go by what it says online). And yes the salsa can get pretty liquidy. I hope you and your husband love it!
Georgia

This salsa is great. I like to put it on a classic Chicago dog or a hamberger. It’s realy delicious on just about anything like jicama, cucumber, pineapple salad as dressing with a little a sprinkle of cilantro. So good!

Oh, no the guajillos won’t work for this one. Their skin is much tougher… but you can try this salsa with the Guajillos: http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/recipe/guajillo-chile-salsa/
Margie
Mar 03
Thank you for the link to the guajillo chile salsa but I have a question. Is that recipe and the one above using the ancho chilles are they using the dried chilies or fresh chiles? Where I live I can only find the dried versions and not sure how to use them in these recipes. Do do have any other recipes using the dried gujallio peppers so I know how to prepare them for a recipe? Thanks so much, we just love seeing your family, watching your show and making your delicious food!
Pati
Mar 05
Oh thank you Margie! Guajillo and ancho chiles are both types of dried chiles…here is some more information: http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/ancho_chile/ http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/guajillo_chile/ And here’s another recipe with guajillo chiles….http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/recipe/meatballs-in-guajillo-sauce/ Enjoy!

I came here with the same question, and am confused because you said that guajillos won’t work in this response, but in reply to Tina’s question on July 28, you said “Why not? Go for it Tina 😉”
Thanks for any clarification you can offer. I thought I had another package of ancho chiles but I seem to have run out, and only have guajillos, pasillas, and options that are obviously unworkable. But we finished our first batch of this salsa and want to make more immediately. I can’t tell you how long it lasts in the fridge because we ate it on everything.
Pati Jinich

I was introduced to this delicious salsa for the first time last night! I can’t wait to make it for myself. This salsa will be a staple in my home from this day forth. LOVE IT!
Just wondering, does anyone have recommendation for complimentary dishes to serve the salsa with. I think it would be great on sandwiches and this will be my first experiment….anyone have any suggestions?
Pati
Nov 17
I like to use it like a regular salsa to top all sorts of dishes like tacos, quesadillas, omelettes…or use it as a dip for chips. It also makes a great relish for meat, fish, and even as a salad dressing.

I was wondering, do you have to use the rice vinegar? That isn’t something I buy or use. Would doubling the white vinegar or adding cider vinegar work as well? I normally don’t like veering from a recipe, but rice vinegar just isn’t in my kitchen. I would love to try this though!
Pati
May 13
Hi! You don’t have to. You can just double up the white vinegar, no worries.

This recipe is addictive! It’s delicious with everything. This is probably a moot question because it is quickly consumed by my family, but how long will it keep in the ‘frig? Could I can it for long term preservation or would the heat from the canning process alter the flavor?

How do you clean the outside of ancho chiles before using? The seem dusty and dirty. I Have made this recipes several times now, it’s so good, but I feel like I am washing away a lot of the flavor when I am cleaning the peppers under running water.

Hi Pati! I love your recipes, they really help me get more acquainted with the wonders of Mexican cuisine. I have a question about this recipe, do you leave the mixture out to ferment and then place it in the fridge after 8 hours or does it go immediately in the fridge after everything is mixed together?

Go ahead and pop it in the fridge right after everything is mixed.

Patti,
The reason I asked what is a good dish that could compliment this salsa, is because I have been requested to bring “something Mexican” unknown around here, for a big pot luck group. I have no idea what the others are bringing since it each picked a dish from a hat, and were asked not to reveal it to each other.
Did not mean to upset you
Pati
May 26
Hola Velia, You didn’t upset me! 😉 You can use it like a regular salsa to top tacos, quesadillas, etc., or as a dip for chips. It also works great as a relish on top of meat and fish dishes, or as a dressing for salads.
