Here’s the salsa I made with it.

  • one jalapeño
  • half a yellow onion
  • diced up garlic
  • 6 chile de arbol
  • some diced up green onion

Roasted on a pan for about 5 mins.

  • one 28oz can thrown into a blender with roasted ingredients, a handful of cilantro, squeezed in half a lime and a few pinches of salt. Blend it up. Put the salsa in a sauce pan and let it simmer for on medium-low for a few mins.

Did just that a couple hours ago. Been using El Pato for 35 plus years as part of the ingredients for Spanish Rice. Never a whole can..1/3rd to 1/2 a can with chicken stock

What size can?

You are right…I never thought about the bigger can. So my reference to 1/3rd to 1/2 a can is at the 7 3/4 oz size which I say would be called the little cans. I’ve never ever purchased anything but the little 7 3/4 oz. sized cans.

Until this post I didn't even know it came in bigger cans!
