Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - Inventing a new chile salsa

When you see a new chile pepper salsa at the Fresh Chile Company, you know this didn’t happen by accident. It took lots of work and innovation to invent, yes, invent a new salsa. Well now there is a new one and I will tell you about what it took to create Randy’s Salsa. Fresh Chile Company owner Randy McMillan wanted to have a salsa with larger chunks and wanted to use a chile pepper variety, Matador, that is loved by chile fans. The development team started the inventing process. It started with the chile: Matador, the chopping was one-inch squares. If it was just chile they could stop there but they wanted a big chunk salsa, so they combined Green and Red Matador, juicy tomatoes, crisp onions, a hint of lemon juice to adjust acidity and added a unique taste, some water, garlic, a vegan chicken-type base and get this a touch of black pepper for an extra kick. How did all of these delicious items get into the mix? It is all here.Love this Podcast? Check out our website at The Fresh Chile Company.
