This deceptively simple salsa is quite delcicious- and picante! You can lower the heat a bit by removing the chile seeds.

Arbol sauce served over fried eggs, dusted with dry cheese and chopped cilantro.

9 Arbol chiles, stems removed and wiped clean
1 1/2 cups tomatillos, boiled for about 5 minutes
1/2 cup water
Salt
2 cloves garlic, chopped

Toast the chiles briefly on a dry skillet or comal. And the chiles and all other ingredients to to a blender jar and blend until somewhat smooth.

Options: Try toasting the garlic on the dry skillet along with the chiles for a roasted garlic flavor.
