Ingredients for Mexican Magma Molcajete Sauce

  • 4 Habanero peppers, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 3 Jalapeño peppers, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, roasted and peeled
  • 3 cloves garlic, roasted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 baby spoons agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 lime, juiced

Directional Molcajete Mastery

  1. In a molcajete (stone mortar and pestle), grind the roasted garlic until it forms a smooth paste.
  2. Add the Habanero and Jalapeño peppers, grinding them into the garlic to form a consistent mix.
  3. Incorporate the roasted tomatoes, grinding them until the mixture is smooth with a few chunks remaining.
  4. Mix in the apple cider vinegar, agave syrup, sea salt, and lime juice. Stir thoroughly.
  5. Allow the sauce to rest for an hour before serving, letting the flavors meld.

Magma Molcajete Secrets

Using a traditional molcajete instead of a blender preserves the authentic texture and releases the natural oils from the ingredients, making the Mexican Magma Molcajete Sauce richer in flavor.

The Molcajete Chronicles

The molcajete, used for grinding ingredients, has been a staple in Mexican cooking since the time of the Aztecs and Mayans. It's believed that the flavors developed in a molcajete are incomparably deep due to the volcanic stone's porous nature, which retains a memory of all spices ground upon it.

Habanero peppers range from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units, while Jalapeño peppers measure between 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units. Combined, they create a beautifully balanced fiery delight.
