I'll make sure I let as much of the steam evaporate from the jalapenos as possible thanks to your comment! <br />Believe it or not, I've only eaten at Torchy's once, but I'm sure I'd love that Diablo salsa recipe if you'd like to share! :) My email is erdog7703@gmail.com <br />Thanks for your comments, and I'll let you know how my next incarnation turns out! ~ErinErndoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455372032117355222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-5680105607997290432015-01-03T23:11:35.888-08:002015-01-03T23:11:35.888-08:00Thanks, and how odd that you were thinking of maki...Thanks, and how odd that you were thinking of making it just today! I have never tried boiling the garlic- I usually roast it, but I have been wanting to try boiling it as well! I think what happened was that after boiling my jalapenos, I didn't let them cool and I didn't let the steam escape. I think the way the steam water emulsified with the oil caused some kind of weird texture because it's never gotten as gelatinous as it did this week. I was also using a vitamix for the first time so it might have something to do with that?<br /><br />I will have to try the half veg/half olive oil mix, and boiling the garlic! I'll post again if I find any improvements!<br /><br />Also, I'm not sure if you like the Diablo sauce at Torchy's but I found a perfect recipe!<br /><br />Kelsinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-86097814561673026862015-01-03T05:23:00.873-08:002015-01-03T05:23:00.873-08:00No Kelsi, I've never had any solidification of...No Kelsi, I've never had any solidification of the sauce after it's gone into the fridge. How odd. I know that they use a 50/50 mix of olive oil and canola oil. Funny you should leave a comment out of the blue, when just yesterday, I was comtemplating making this again for the first time in ages! I thought I'd try boiling the jalapenos like Taco Deli does, instead of roasting. I'll probably use less garlic, but boil the cloves in their skins as well. I use this method when making mashed potatoes...just boil the garlic right along with the taters. :) We'll see! Sorry that I can't be of more help, but let me know if you figure out what's causing it. ~erin<br />Erndoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455372032117355222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-43432539686019849192015-01-02T23:41:26.209-08:002015-01-02T23:41:26.209-08:00Hello!

I'm not sure if you still check these comments but I've been trying to perfect my version for about a year :) I have always had an issue with my salsa turning to a solid/weird jelly like substance once it goes in the fridge. I was wondering if you have the same issue? The original dona does not do this! The only ingredients I use are jalapenos, canola, garlic, and salt.kelsinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-79424273893731030022014-10-12T14:42:24.253-07:002014-10-12T14:42:24.253-07:00Looks amazing!Looks amazing!Zolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221133756875878074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-44879847320834863252014-01-31T10:46:26.208-08:002014-01-31T10:46:26.208-08:00Hi Sherilyn...I know Bob's Red Mill sells them...Hi Sherilyn...I know Bob's Red Mill sells them whole and you can get them through Amazon or the like.

I am a stay at home mom and find it hard to get out to look for them. I tried Sprouts in RR and theirs are the Bob's red mill, but they are cut and I need them whole. You mentioned Central Market(which is quite far from requiring a special trip). Are they whole that you got or cut? I'm in Pflugerville. Thanks so much for any help. sherilynpagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039067491608656342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914109128173905049.post-76015136603654315682013-12-19T08:22:33.341-08:002013-12-19T08:22:33.341-08:00Just my speed today.
