This is soooo good!
Here is what you'll need to make
absolutely Fantastic...
Homemade Salsa:
|
 |
5-8 Tomatoes (depending on their size, or the amount of salsa you want to
make)
Garlic (as much garlic as you feel is
appropriate for your tastes... we'll be using 1 large clove of elephant
garlic)
Jalapenos (2 or 3 depending on how
spicy you like your salsa)
1/2 large red onion
1 large
green bell pepper |
 |
First, chop up all of your tomatoes into
approximately 1/2 inch cubes, and put them in your mixing
bowl. |
 |
Then dice your 1/2 of a red onion, and
your bell pepper, and put those in your mixing bowl as well. |
 |
You can see that its already looking
pretty good... especially with a cold beer close at hand... not really critical
to the salsa making process, but it does help as long as moderation is
employed. |
 |
Then, you need to dice the jalapeno,
after removing the seeds. A few seeds are ok, and the more seeds you leave in,
the hotter your salsa will become. Also, make sure you wash your hands well
after handling the jalapenos, so that you don't end up rubbing your eye with a
jalapeno juiced finger- Ouch! Even an hour later, the dried juice on your
finger will burn your eyes. |
 |
It is fairly important to dice the
jalapenos pretty small, so that someone who might be more sensitive to spicy
foods doesn't get a really big bite. |
 |
Once you have all of the vegetables in
the mixing bowl, use a large spoon, or potato masher, or some other appropriate
kitchen utensil to mush everything up. Don't get to carried away, as chunky
salsa is best. I used a blender once, and the salsa came out too fine. It was
still good, but it wasn't chunky at all. Avoid the blender. |
 |
Finally, pour it into a bowl that can be
covered with an airtight lid, munch on it for a while, and then stick it in the
refrigerator overnight. You may want to add a little bit of salt to taste, and
most times, will also add just a bit of worshterschire sauce for some added
zing... try it. |
