Drunken Pasilla, Prune and Orange Salsa recipe from Pati's Mexican Table Season 3, Episode 9 “Pot Luck Party”
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded, about 2 ounces
- 2 cloves garlic, with husks on
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup beer
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups pitted prunes
- 1 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
To Prepare
- Set a skillet or comal over medium heat and, once hot, toast the chiles for about 1 minute per side, being careful not to burn them. Remove from heat.
- Roast, or char, the garlic cloves for about 6 to 8 minutes either on the same skillet or comal, or under a broiler for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside and peel away the husks once the cloves have cooled.
- Place the toasted chiles in a medium saucepan and cover with the boiling water, beer and orange juice. Add the prunes to the pan and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Put the chiles, prunes and cooking liquid into a blender, along with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth and serve.
Hola Pati!
How long can you keep this salsa? Can it be frozen?
Gracias!!
It will keep up to 5 days in the fridge and for a few months in the freezer. Enjoy, Trixia!
Hi Patty! What do you serve it with? The drunken Pasilla Salsa!

Hola Pati,
I’m intrigued by this recipe. What do you think it would go well with? Tamales?
It goes great with barbacoa or carnitas, or really anything like tacos, quesadillas, or antojitos.

Hi Pati, my question is regarding “Bunuelos” I’m making your bunuelos this weekend for a fiesta,can you please tell me what’s the reason for letting the bunuelos air dry for awhile, then fry? Thank you for your time
Hola Dolores, So glad you are trying the bunuelos! Letting them dry before frying will help them crisp better.
