My Refined and Sophisticated Translation
1 1/2 white onions
2 medium tomatoes
10 serrano or 5 jalapeno chiles
3 1/2 ozs. beef fat - from scraps
2 tsp. vegetable oil
8 fl. ozs. pulque
salt
Save the beef fat until you have about 1/2 a cup. Freeze if you don't have all that much and defrost for this recipe. You don't have to defrost overnight. (Never hurts although).
Using a small 1/2 quart to 1 quart saucepan, heat the pan for 5 minutes on LOW heat until it's good-and-hot. Add the oil. I call for 2 tsp. instead of 1/2 a tsp. If you are worried stop here. Do not proceed. The fat will explode and maim you, maybe. While the oil is heating, start chopping the onions and tomatoes into 3/8" cubes or pieces. Split, remove the seeds and dice the chiles into 1/8" cubes. Cube the fat into 1/4" dice. Add the fat to the heated oil and render as much as possible in about 6-8 minutes. Remove the fat pieces unrendered. Add the onions and saute until they color golden, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, raise the heat a little and when the tomatoes give up their liquid, lower the heat and add the pulque and the salt. Taste for salt.
Use this salsa on any grilled meat. If any is leftover, heat it and poach an egg or two for breakfast the next day.
Cook's Note: If you are not a fan of spicy, use the jalapenos.
