Tips from our Chefs
Here are some tips that you can keep in mind for a better experience:
For a milder puya chile salsa, discard all of the seeds; for a hotter salsa, keep all of the seeds. Set the seeds aside and blend in a spoonful at a time until you achieve your preferred heat level if you’re unclear how much to add.
