I am extremely interested in making salsa. If you could post a recipe you really like or some tips. It would be much appreciated.
I want to start off simple, not because I don't think I can handle it, but more as a proof of concept. I have been looking at some recipes online, and I am happy at the world that awaits me.

Are you making a pico de gallo (salsa fresca) kind or like a sauce? The sauce will require boiling the tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteYou will need:
ReplyDeleteSalt
1 Lime
8-9ish Roma Tomatoes
Red Onion
Garlic (minced)
Cilantro
Optional:
Cumin
Directions:
1. Dice Roma Tomatoes and Onion (keep separate)
2. In bowl mix tomatoes, garlic (to taste), cilantro, onions
(the amount to put in will be obvious and you should stop when you fell there is a good ratio)
3. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of cumin along with a quarter of the lime juiced.
4. Mix well and put in fridge. Let settle for several hours. The flavors will begin to blend together.
5. Add lime, cilantro, garlic, onions to taste
If you buy fresh peppers, then you can either heat them on a skillet until the blacken, or grill them until they blacken and add them to the salsa for a nice flavor.
ReplyDeleteSawyer has listed what I believe to be his classic Pico recipe. I believe this to be a brilliant start for entering the world of salsas.
thanks, I will try.
ReplyDeleteDo you recommend the blackened peppers in this recipe too?
I forgot to discuss the concept of peppers. Rob made up for this nicely. If you want heat dice up some jalepenos or some other chile depending on desired heat level. I don't find jalepenos hot anymore. Use Serrano chiles if you can get htem in Chi-Town.
ReplyDeleteI can't make it too hot, not because of me but jessi can't stand ANY heat.
ReplyDeleteSometimes she'll try something I'm eating and she will say 'that's hot'(not like paris hilton) and I wouldn't think the dish had any spice in it.
