Salsa Recipe as Promised

Here is a great Salsa recipe as I had promised in an earlier post. You can vary the hot peppers and add salt and lime to your particular taste so you get the best result for your tatse.
Ingredients:
Choose between 2 Jalapeños, 2 Fresnos, 1 ½ Serranos, 1 Habanero or 1 Scotch Bonnet
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Blend these until you get the desired texture.

Then add,
1/4 onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

Preferably chop these by hand and stir together with the previous ingredients. If you must blend do so sparingly and in pulsating fashion. Over blending will grind these to a puree and will not result in great salsa taste.

Finally add,
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons salt
6 medium tomatoes
Extra Virgin Olive oil

Remember that if heat is not your thing blend the hot peppers first and then take half of them out and add the rest at the end until you get the desired heat. For an added flavor you can put the tomatoes and Jalapeños on a frying pan with a little olive oil so they don’t stick and grill them until they turn black on the surface prior to incorporating them in the salsa. This process adds a great flavor to your salsa.

Well there it is a simple yet flavorful salsa recipe that can be made with or without Jalapeños. Enjoy…
