   Note: For Salsa Verde, it’s actually best to keep the charred skin on the peppers and tomatillos after broiling. Here’s why: * Flavor: The charred skin adds a smoky depth to the salsa, which is characteristic of authentic Mexican salsas. Removing the skin would take away some of this smokiness. * Texture: Blending the charred skin along with the other ingredients provides a richer texture and slightly darker color, enhancing the salsa's rustic look. Using a molcajete (a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle) to make Salsa Rojo or Salsa Verde is a fantastic way to enhance both the texture and flavor of your salsa. The stone grinding method releases oils and flavors in a way that blenders or food processors can’t quite match, giving you a truly authentic experience.
