Welcometo Condiment Central, a.k.a. the top shelf of my fridge. Among the motley crew of jars labeled with masking tape there's intensely garlicky toum, crunchy chile oil, zhug, pomegranate molasses, spicy tofu crumbles, dulce de leche, and, the container that's always near-empty first, smoky salsa roja.
Smooth, sultry, and just the right balance of fiery, tangy, and sweet, it has the magical ability to turn a bag of tortilla chips into dinner. (Or, when I'm feeling a little more ambitious, morph into the best enchilada sauce.)
It also helps that the salsa takes all of fifteen minutes to make. You simply saut onion and garlic, add the tomato paste and chipotles in adobo, cook them down so they're darker, thicker, and richer in flavor, then add the canned tomatoes and simmer to concentrate their power. All that's left to do is to transfer everything to a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth, then stir in apple cider vinegar (sharp!) and molasses (sweet!).
If you don't have "robust-flavored (dark) molasses," hope is not lost: I imagine that maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar would be strong contenders (one time I used tamarind paste, and it was delicious).

The 45-year-old recently revealed that even back in the day in 1994 when there was no social media he had to go watch a movie in a disguise but even then he was recognised and had to leave immediately.
"I think in 1994, we all decided to watch Roja. Anjali was there, her father was there and so were a couple of friends of mine. We went somewhere in Worli. I was wearing sunglasses and had a fake beard also I think.
"But in all the chaos in the theatre my sunglasses fell off and one of the lense went missing. But even then I picked it up and wore the broken sunglass and kept my head down. But still somehow I got recognised and then we had to leave. Half-way through the film we had to leave," Tendulkar told Gaurav Kapoor on his popular chat show, Breakfast with Champions.
He slammed a century of hundreds across formats throughout his career - 51 in Tests, 49 in ODIs - and is widely regarded as the greatest cricketer to have ever played the game.Published By: rohan senPublished On: May 12, 2018--- ENDS ---
Spain were midway through a hugely tense quarter-final against Germany, so Alcaraz did what he had to do: he took his phone into the ice bath and watched the game while the cold water healed his aching muscles.
Nine days later, he is the Wimbledon champion for the second time, after beating Novak Djokovic in three sets on Centre Court on Sunday, and Spain are European Champions, after beating England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin.
The reciprocal relationship between Alcaraz and La Roja grew and grew as they both moved closer to glory in their respective tournaments. They inspired each other to greater heights, and now Alcaraz and Spain stand on the brink of a Wimbledon/Euros double once again.
Alcaraz got his half of an historic double done a little after 4:40pm, giving him over three hours to get situated for the final, which began at 8pm GMT / 3pm ET. In 2023, he took almost five hours to beat Djokovic, and he would have been struggling to fit in a Euros final in amongst the myriad post-match commitments of a Wimbledon champion.
Come Wimbledon finals day, after Alcaraz had won his title, he was asked how he would watch. Half on his phone, during the Champions Ball at the All England Club, the other half with his team, on a bigger screen.
With their golden era long gone, Spain find themselves in a transitional phase under boss Luis de la Fuente, who was appointed in 2022 to replace Luis Enrique after Spain were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco in the Round of 16.
Spain began their campaign with a clash against Croatia at Olympiastadion in Berlin. What had been billed as a potentially close contest ended in a one-sided 3-0 win for La Roja, with Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz, and Dani Carvajal all scoring in the first half.
In their second match at Schalke's Veltins-Arena, La Roja defeated Italy 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Riccardo Calafiori. The game was more one-sided than the scoreline suggested and Gianluigi Donnarumma made several good saves. The result secured Spain's place as winners of Group B.
Spain rounded off their group matches with a routine 1-0 win over Albania, and then took apart Georgia 4-1 in the Round of 16, despite falling behind to a shock early goal from the tournament debutants.

That, of course, proved to be the first silverware in a era of sheer dominance by La Roja, whose "tiki-taka" style of play brought them two more huge honors in the form of the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, as they became the first country ever to defend the European Championship crown.
There were viewing parties organized by local officials in more than 100 cities across Spain. In Madrid, fans watched the final in bars throughout the city and at an arena where a big screen was set up for nearly 7,000 people who signed up in advance for free tickets.
There was still mixed reaction about Vilda after some players rebelled against him less than a year ago. Fifteen players stepped away from the national team for their mental health and demanding a more professional environment.
The Three Bears (Los tres osos) decide to go for a walk because the soup they have prepared for dinner is too hot. Finding the bears away, Goldilocks (Ricitos de Oro, played by Nia) explores their home with great curiosity until she accidentally breaks Baby Bear's (Beb Oso) chair. The bears return to discover not only a surprise guest snuggled in Baby Bear's bed, but also the badly damaged chair.
Goldilocks (Ricitos de Oro, played by Nia) returns to the home of The Three Bears (Los tres osos) to redeem herself by making soup. But first she leaves to find her friend, Little Rat (Ratoncito), to help her. Once again the soup turns out to be too hot to eat and the entire group goes for a walk-all except Salsa, who enjoys the soup on his own.
Goldilocks (Ricitos de Oro, played by Nia), Little Rat (Ratoncito) and The Three Bears (Los tres osos) set about fixing Baby Bear's (Beb Oso) broken chair. After it is mended, they decide to touch it up with a new coat of paint. The group carefully considers the colors red and green, but the color blue wins the day. To everyone's dismay, Little Rat rocks in the new chair and breaks it again!
Goldilocks (Ricitos de Oro, played by Nia) and Little Rat (Ratoncito) join The Three Bears (Los tres osos) to celebrate Baby Bear's (Beb Oso) fifth birthday in a festive, traditional manner. During the party preparations, Baby Bear reveals that he wants a puppy. After breaking open a piata and blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, Baby Bear begins opening gifts. He receives a banana, an apple, a soccer ball, a wooden train, a yellow shirt and, finally-a puppy!
The Girl (Nia) and the Dog (Perro) find that too many cooks spoil the broth-or, in this case, the hot chocolate. While watching a cooking show on television, the two decide to make hot chocolate. After the pair leave the kitchen to let their concoction simmer, Little Rat (Ratoncito) and other characters drop by to add some unconventional ingredients to the recipe, including a tennis shoe.
Little Red Riding Hood (Caperucita Roja, played by Nia) meets the Wolf (el Lobo) on the way to Grandmother's (la Abuela) house. After seeing that she is bearing many treats, the Wolf hatches a plan to steal them that leads to taking both Little Red Riding Hood and Grandmother prisoner. Lucky for them, Salsa witnesses everything and tells a policeman, who saves the day.
The Wolf (el Lobo) takes on different disguises in his relentless quest for food. He pretends to be a chocolate salesman, a singer and, finally, a maid. Little Red Riding Hood (Caperucita Roja, played by Nia) and Grandmother (la Abuela) take pity on the poor Wolf and offer him a banana and some flowers, but the flowers make him sneeze.
Still not satisfied, the Wolf (el Lobo) tries one more disguise in an effort to get food. Grandmother (la Abuela) allows the Wolf to enter dressed as an old man. Even though everyone can plainly see it's the Wolf, they decide to play along with his charade in order to teach him to say "please" and "thank you." When he's finally allowed to eat, the Wolf makes himself ill by devouring everything in sight. Bloated and queasy, the Wolf is carried away on a stretcher.
Grandmother (la Abuela) puts the Wolf (el Lobo) on a diet and exercise program after discovering how much weight he has gained. First he proves to be a poor runner, complaining of fatigue and aching feet. Then the Wolf finds himself frustrated when Grandmother serves Little Red Riding Hood (Caperucita Roja, played by Nia) a larger portion of food. Finally, Grandmother shows the Wolf how to lift weights and even gets him hopping through her aerobics class.
Baby Bear (Beb Oso) and Little Rat (Ratoncito) have fun making up their own version of Little Red Riding Hood. In their story, Little Blue Riding Hood (Caperucita Azul, played by Nia) is skipping through the forest with a puppy, as well as a basket containing a hamburger and french fries. She encounters the Wolf (el Lobo), who rushes ahead and ties up Grandmother (la Abuela) before she can arrive. Meanwhile, Little Blue Riding Hood runs into some bees, who chase her to Grandmother's house. Eventually, the persistent bees chase all of the characters back to the playroom.
