We as a family love salsa - all kinds of salsa!!! The best recipe we have come across is this one. Not sure where I came across the original recipe - I tend to use it as a guide and use whatever I happen to have on hand. I have added black beans and corn, fresh tomatoes, lots of stuff... This one I added lime juice - YUMMY!
 |
To start - I used a can of whole tomatoes, tomato paste, half an onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper and lots of cilantro.
Put the onion, garlic and pepper in the food processor. Please note - we are not a "spicy" family. I added just 1 jalapeno pepper, if you like more spice add more peppers!
Mix/chop
Add the cilantro (and parsley if you have it)
Mix/chop some more, then add some olive oil.
Next add the tomatoes (I like using whole tomatoes in most of my cooking, I think they are better...)
And the tomato paste.
Mix until you want to eat it.
At this point I thought to add some lime juice - as I said before YUMMY! All salsa should have lime juice added.
Place into jars and enjoy!
Ok, the presentation in a jar isn't the best... put it in a pretty bowl with a side of tortilla chips.
Recipe:
1 can of whole tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
1 small onion (or half a large)
Garlic - depends on how much you like
Jalapeno - again, depends on how spicy you like it... I use 1
Lots of cilantro - more is better!
Parsley (if you have it)
about 2 tbsp of olive oil
salt and pepper
In a food processor chop onion, garlic and jalapeno pepper. Add cilantro and parsley, add olive oil, then tomatoes, paste, salt and pepper.
Let sit in fridge for a few hours before serving - to let the flavours mix.
Enjoy!
