This is a nice salsa. It is tasty and easy to prepare. I followed all ingredients and instructions as listed. I served it as the salsa topping for Spicy Ground Chicken. Next time I would probably make it hotter and I felt it was missing something. Maybe onions? I added more salt. I like the other reviewer's suggestion of roasting the garlic. All in all, we enjoyed the salsa and thought it was good. Thanks.

I made this for my husband because he loves spicy-hot stuff. I put in 3 big jalapenos with their seeds! He totally loved it and had to create a special dish to eat it with. Scrambled eggs wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and zchug, topped with sour cream and black pepper. He raved about this and ate about half the batch! I'll definitely be making this again. I hope I can find out how to pronounce this correctly, although "Z-Chug" is kind of fun. Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.

This is very very good! I did the garlic and chilies by hand on a cutting board with some coarse cooking salt; no processor is why. I also used the vinegared hot peppers that we use here in Morocco at 1 and 1/2 pepper as they are HOT! This is wonderful on soft scrambled eggs with pan toasted Moroccan flat bread for a late supper!! Fabulous, thank you!

Great salsa - I used some pickled jalapenos I had in the fridge and it turned out really good. My family usually likes milder salsa but had nothing but compliments about this one.
