Salsa, anyone?

[Q-tip]

I have been trying my hand at making my own salsa. I have to admit, it is easier than I thought, and it turned out way better than I expected. I made a green jalapeno salsa that didnt quite have enough salt, and I made a habanero red salsa that is perfect in every way. It costs very little and yields a lot. Before I go through the motion of typing out the recipe, first I was just curious if anyone else would like to try it. Let me know, I will be happy to share!

Yes! Salsa is part of the basic elements of almost all mexican food.

Do you know what is this?

Its a Molcajete. It is a prehispanic rock carved vase with a sort of maze that is used to properly smash and break chiles, tomatoes and all the elements for a good salsa.

When you use it, the ingredients are not destroyed completely but forged into one single unit of flavours. Also the rock that is made of since its porous it keeps the insides of the salsa really fresh.

A final piece of advise: Lemon is not a base, its an additive. Don't over use ingredients that hold much liquid or your salsa will be ruined fast.

Good luck and share some photos of your masterwork!!!

I love Salsa and have been using this recipe for years. Fresh Tomatoes/Cilantro/Garlic/Salt/Chili Powder/Chili pepper/Lime juice/Onions/Pepper. The amounts per item will vary due to what we have on hand.

I have a few recipes I can share as well. Salsa is good, but needs good chips and there are so very few anywhere. I will post once I find the brand I used before, there is only one amazing brand IMHO.

In parentheses is the difference between my red and green salsas... Everything else is the same. Here goes...

1/2 onion, chopped
10 Jalapenos (6 Habaneros), cut in 1/4ths *remove seeds... it will be plenty hot without
5 Tomatillos (10 Roma tomatoes), cut in 1/4ths
3 or 4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced in half
2 Tbls salt
about 1 tsp Black pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Avocado, optional (for green, not red)
Lime juice, about 1 Tbls


Add onion, jalapenos (or habaneros), tomatillos (or roma tomatoes), and garlic to a pot, and just cover with water, and boil until soft.
Allow to cool after draining.
Throw in blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper, (avocado, if you are using one) and blend to desired consistency.

That's it! Both times I made it, it came out like a pro.

Its so very simple and you will be very pleased with yourself

Enjoy!


P.S. Be sure to try some while it's still warm. I had never tried warm salsa before with chips, it was freaking amazing
