Looking for a quick and easy Salsa recipe

[BBK]

I had one and now i can't remember it. And i never got to try it, didn't get enough toms for it, but this year i'm getting plenty toms for a good recipe.

So, does anyone have one?


thanks

Gosh basics are tomatoes, peppers and onions with a litle salt, olive oil and white vinegar.

From there take it to the next level with whatever you have fresh.

Some ideas:
Cilantro
corn
carrots
garlic
citrus
pineapple
mango
Different pepper types (hot, sweet, etc.)

basic salsa fresca:

diced tomatoes
minced hot peppers (jalapenos, serranos, habanero, whatever you like)
diced onion (white or yellow) or green onion/scallions
chopped fresh cilantro
salt
freshly-squeezed lime juice (optional)

mix all ingredients to taste.... don't be afraid to use salt.. it really brings out the flavor of everything else.

If you want more complex than that, as katylester says, there are endless options - tomatillos, corn, mango, pineapple, avocado... fire-roasted tomatoes and/or peppers, etc.

Let us know what you want to make!

3 tomatoes
1 onion
1 clove garlic
3-4 jalapeno peppers
cilantro
Lemon Juice
salt, pepper

Put everythin' in food processor and blend the dickens out of it.

The lemon juice is just a tablespoon or so, the salt and pepper to your liking.
But NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, make salsa without cilantro. Don't even consider such blasphemous things...

Here's my canning recipe--will be putting up a batch this weekend-

5-6 pounds chopped tomatoes (this is about 15 large or 20-25 small to medium). Cut the cores out. Pour hot water over them & peel skins off. (if you freeze them first, when you thaw them out the skins will come off much easier).

1 large purple onion, chopped fine

1 bell pepper, chopped fine

2 cups finely chopped hot peppers (I used Garden Salsa peppers from Tomato Growers' Supply, which make a large, long pepper of medium heat intensity. I used a mixture of solid red ripe ones & some that were just turning. (I seeded & cut the splines out of the first 2 cups. Later on added 3 more peppers with seeds & splines to boost the heat).

1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped fine (plus added another tablespoon dried cilantro later on).

1/3 cup lemon juice (added 1/3 cup more later on).

juice of 2 limes

1 tablespoon coarse ground salt (added another tablespoon later).

1/4 cup Trappey's Jalapeno sauce (the green one). (added later).

Started w/tomatoes, purple onion, bell pepper, 2 cups garden salsa peppers, fresh cilantro, 1/3 cup lemon juice, juice of 2 limes & 1 tablespoon salt.

Brought to a boil, reduced to a simmer, cooked 30 minutes & did a trial taste.

We thought it was too bland, so at that point added 3 more chopped salsa peppers with seeds & splines, another 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon dried cilantro, 1 tablespoon salt, & about 1/4 cup Trappey's jalapeno suace.
Brought back to a boil, reduced to a simmer, cooked 5 more minutes & used a slotted spoon to pack into jars; got 4 pint jars of thick salsa & 3 more jars of juice (which is like a spicy V-8). Processed 10 minutes in canner. All jars sealed.
Let sit a month & flavor was great! will make this again.
