Does anyone have a good Salsa recipe.

[DawnCt1]

I have a LOT of tomatoes and it seems that they are all ripening at once. I am looking for a good salsa recipe that includes cilantro. Does anyone have one that they love??

Thanks, I just did. It doesn't seem like a very active board however.

Have you tried the site
www.allrecipes.com ?
It is my very favorite.

after that comes the food TV website.
Wish I had a garden full of ripe tomatoes, our are all gone.

Enjoy!

Do you mean fresh salsa?
I make my own all the time. I don' t have amounts for you, but I can give you ingredients and you can use whatever amounts you want.
Tomatoes- chopped.
ONions (I sometimes use green onions, other times a big sweet onion) chopped.
Garlic (I like lots). chopped finely.
Garlic salt (or regular salt if you prefer).
Jalepeno peppers (or other hot peppers to taste).
Cilantro to taste.
You can use a bit of lime juice too. It gives it a little bit of flavor.
I LOVE fresh salsa.

Have fun.

I usually toss mine in a blender after roughly chopping them up ....

Try something like:

3/4 jalapeños (my cousin likes to boil them for about 5 minutes before tossing them in the blender)
1 or 2 onions chopped (I usually use Spanish/yellow onions
a bunch of cilantro (I love cilantro)
3 or 4 tomatoes
garlic - maybe 3 cloves (I like a lot so I may put more)
a bit of salt
chopped up tomatoes

loosely chop -- i also stick a wood spoon in the blender & move around the veggies & chile so that it doesn't become a puree.


I love fresh salsa. yum

 

[DawnCt1]

Thanks for the recipes. Do you use fresh jalapenos or the ones in a jar?

 

[oogieboogie]

I make fresh salsa all the time. Don't have any measurements, but here's what I put in (all these chopped, except the garlic, those are minced really fine)

Fresh jalapenos
cilantro
tomatoes
vidalia onion
lime juice
salt
crushed garlic

if you don't want it too hot, I've made them with green peppers too.

sometimes when I get some really good unripe mangoes, those go in to for a mango salsa.

I use fresh ones.
(I grow them in the garden too).

I think most people are using the same type of ingredients, but for a twist I put a little vegetable oil on my tomatoes and pepper/s and put them on the grill to char. When they are black take them off and let them cool. Remove and reserve the peel of the tomato (not the peppers). Then chop the tomato (do not use the tomato juice) and add all the other goodies, garlic, cilantro, vinegar or lime juice, salt to taste, onion (can roast this too). Add chopped pieces of tomato skins for more smoky flavor.

This makes a salsa similar in flavor to Chevy's if you like that.

go to foodtv.com go to Good Eats web site and look for salsa. Alton Brown made a good looking salsa and I"m going to try it tonight.

Oh boy..salsa. Being from Texas, I probably have a dozen different recipes for salsa floating around.

My personal favorite is this:

3 tomatoes, roasted,seeded and diced
2/3 jalapenos, roasted,seeded (to remove the main source of the 'heat') and diced
splash of lime juice (or more if you like it)
dash of chopped cilantro
1 medium sized yellow onion, diced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Roasted garlic, crushed, to taste

Mix all ingredients together,taste and let set in fridge for about an hour or two so the flavors can melt together. Then taste to see if ya like it.

I use

tomato
onions
fresh garlic
green pepper
jalapeno peppers
cucumber, if I have it

I used cilantro for a while but I don't like it in salsa

 

[DawnCt1]

I made the salsa!! I took everyone's recipe but I forgot to seed the tomatoes. It came out fine anyway because I grew the meaty tomatoes and they don't have that many seeds. We like hot at our house so I used fresh jalapenos. 3 of them! Its in the fridge now. It will probably get hotter as the flavors meld together. Thanks everyone.

Dawn, I was just looking for salsa recipes the other day myself. I found a bunch of them on foodnetwork.com. Just type in salsa in the search box and you will get back a number of pages of salsa recipes, and dishes that use salsa, as a result.

Trader Joes' party salsa is better than any home made I've
ever had and all my friends are hippie, organic gardeners
who make their own all the time. Funny thing is that DS loves
the cheap mild smooth yucky(to me) kind so I buy him the cheapest stuff I can find. I'd simply blanch and peel my over
abundant tomatoes and make chili or sauce later. Not what
you wanted to hear, I know.

Tomatoes
Onions
Jalapeno pepper
Fresh garlic
Cilantro
Thai Basil if you can get it, if not sweet basil
Avocado

Coarsely chop all ingredients and gently mix together, salt and pepper if you like, but we prefer it without.
