I love cilantro and here’s a recipe for salsa I’m sharing with everyone and we think it’s pretty good.
SALSA
1 14-OZ CAN READY CUT TOMATOES OR IF YOU PREFER, 6 ROMA TOMATOES, REMOVE SEEDS AND CHOP INTO SMALL PIECES
1 CAN DICED GREEN CHILIES
1 TSP WHITE VINEGAR - OR MORE..DEPENDING ON YOUR TASTE
1 TSP KOSHER SALT
2 CLOVES CRUSHED GARLIC
½ TBS FRESH CILANTRO - OR IF YOU LOVE CILANTRO ADD MORE...I USE 1/4 CUP FRESH
4 CHOPPED GREEN ONIONS
¼ TSP OR MORE RED PEPPER FLAKES
PUT ALL INGREDIENTS IN FOOD PROCESSOR AND CHOP A FEW SECONDS. REFRIGERATE. KEEPS FOR 5-7 DAYS.
USE THIS RECIPE AS A GUIDE AND ADD AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE OF THESE INGREDIENTS. DO A TASTE TEST AFTER A FEW HOURS AND SEE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD MORE HEAT SUCH AS WHITE VINEGAR OR RED PEPPER FLAKES.
I apologize for the caps.
That’s not how we do it in the Southwest.
Try this one:
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 finely diced onion
1 slicer tomato
1 large and hot-like-hell Serrano, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic minced
Juice of a full lime
Stir and let sit for a half hour, stir again and serve.
A little olive oil don’t hurt.
Nor does 1/2 a vidalia onion.
But here’s what you really need:
skip the vinegar and squeeze a lime or two.
Sorry you lost me at can
More cilantro.
Scratch the red pepper flakes and diced canned green chiles.
Add fresh jalapenos or even serrano peppers.
That’s my salsa.
