Walnut and
Pequin Pepper Salsa
The semi-desertic region of the Sierra Madre Oriental, that covers large part of San Luis Potosi and an area of Queretaro and Hidalgo, is cradle of the Pames. A
millenary civilization that has preserved its culture and traditions through the years. They name themselves Xi’ ui “the true men”. During the colonial period the Spaniards did not manage to conquer them but they did manage to deprive their lands and nowadays they inhabit in small regions of San Luis Potosi.
As good civilization they also developed their
cuisine and many of their recipes are gathered in the book “Recetario Pame de San Luis Potosi y Queretaro”. In this
cookbook the walnut and pequin pepper salsa is found that is
very simple, spicy, its flavor is pleasant and its grainy texture is fantastic.
This salsa can be smeared on
bread and it can be enjoyed in such a way. It can also be used to put to tortas,
tostadas and
chicken or
pork tacos.
