Salsa Macha (Mexican Chile and Peanut Oil)

Veracruz's answer to chili crisp: smoky dried morita and fiery árbol chiles, roasted peanuts, golden garlic and sesame seeds fried briefly in oil, then pulsed into a crunchy, spoonable salsa brightened with a splash of vinegar. Fifteen minutes to make a jar that transforms tacos, eggs, grilled meats, soups and even ice cream.
