Corn and Tomato Salsa With Cilantro

Mon, 28 May 2007 00:00:15 -0400

This is a nice, mild, sweet salsa, best served with spicy dishes. If you're feeling creative, add black beans, bell peppers, or whatever your heart desires. It makes a great base for experimentation. If you can't get fresh tomatoes, it's fine to used canned diced ones. The corn kernels can be fresh, canned or frozen (thawed.) -- posted by EmmyDuckie

Salsa Verde

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 23:03:43 -0400

This is how I usually make my salsa verde. You might try charring the tomatillos on a comal or dry frying pan instead of boiling them in the water for a roasted flavor. As written, it is a fairly mild salsa, so I recommend adjusting heat to taste. Recipe is from Vegetarian Planet. -- posted by cookiedog

Queso

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 23:25:02 -0400

My cousin and I created this recipe by accident when we wanted queso but did not have any of the "traditional" Velveeta. We went rummaging and this ended up being my favorite queso ever, and I have not made Velveeta based queso since. It is important to use American cheese to get the right flavor. Notes: 1. Although I assume black pepper can be used instead of white, white pepper does taste different. 2. You should be able to find Goya products in the Mexican section of your grocery store. 3. If you do not like it very hot, use the mild salsa and use less pepper. -- posted by MistyCat82

Authentic Salsa

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 22:10:52 -0400

This home made salsa is fast and easy to make and lasts for at least a week. I got it from mother-in-law and have made slights changes. If you do not have a comal you can use a non-stick pan. With low-fat chips it makes a great low fat snack. We also eat it with fajitas. If you don't like spicy then start with just one jalapeño since their spiciness varies. -- posted by Chef #550646

Salsa Fresca

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 20:50:12 -0400

This is a simple and spicy, fresh salsa. Add more chilies, cayenne, or hot sauce if you want it hotter. Salsa fresca will keep about a week in the refrigerator, and the longer it stands, the hotter it gets, (though we've never had ours last a week, so couldn't say...) It is adapted from Diane Phillips, The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook (we highly recommend this one!!!). -- posted by Barb R

Bell Pepper Salsa

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:19:00 -0500

Not having a recipe for salsa (and having peppers that needed to be used), this was my 'making it up as i go' attempt that turned out well. Using a blender makes this super quick and easy to throw together. With the habanero I used, the salsa came out with a bit of a bite! This of course can change depending on your peppers, but if you'd like it tamer, I'm sure a jalapeno could be used instead. The flavour of the garlic is pronounced, so adjust to suit your tastes. The tequila isn't needed, but I like what it adds to the salsa. Goes well with cornmeal pancakes. -- posted by Chef #502819

Southern Italian Traditional Tomato Sauce

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:27:39 -0400

This is one of the most representative recipes from the Southern Italian cuisine of Puglia. All our cuisine is very simple but delicious because based on very fresh and seasonal ingredients that we produce locally. For this recipe, we use only these ingredients: fresh and ripe tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, basil leaves and onion. Nothing else! To make a good tomato sauce the quality of the tomatoes you use is very important as well as the extra virgin olive oil you add on top at the end. Contrary to what people normally think, Italian cuisine does not use as much garlic as other cuisines (i.e. Spanish). Therefore to make the tomato sauce in Puglia we tend to prefer onion to garlic. Also, in Puglia we dont cover the taste of the main ingredients we are using: if we make a tomato sauce we want to taste the tomatoes and not the onion. Therefore we dont use too much onion. As for the extra virgin olive oil, we prefer to add it at the end when the tomato sauce is ready and not in advance. This is because once cooked, the extra virgin olive oil loses all the health properties and flavors. Whereas if you add it raw it still has all its flavors. To remove the acidity our grandmother always told us to cook the tomato sauce at least for two hours. If you dont have that much time, you can use a sliced carrot that helps removing the acidity, instead of using sugar. -- posted by stile mediterraneo

This is a recipe created by my mother. It has a sweet vinegary flavor. I put it in pint jars and process in water steam canner. If you haven't tried my mom's then what we try to achieve is a balance of the sugar and vinegar. I just made this two days ago and ended up adding more sugar and vinegar. It's one of those mom recipes where I've tried to capture " a pinch of this and a pinch of that" So you may need to adjust to your taste.

Easy and Tasty Salsa

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:09:34 -0400

This is a super easy way to make homemade hot sauce! I leave the seeds in the jalapenos because I like a bit of a bite, but if you prefer it milder, you can deseed the jalapenos before boiling. The tastes really blend overnight, so it is even better the next day! -- posted by Chef #1365192

Mike's Salsa

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:39:15 -0400

A positively delightful salsa recipe for any occasion. Do not allow the idea of using habanero peppers to scare you off! They really blend well and will not make the dish as spicy as you may think with the seeds and veins removed. If you are brave (or crazy?) like me, leave them in on one or two of the peppers and enjoy the added heat. -- posted by MrTink

Salsa Del Diablo Rojo

This is an addicting red salsa with a hot aftertaste that kicks you right in the teeth! When prepared correctly, it has a restaurant style consistency, which is not too thick, and not too thin. -- posted by JasoFett

Easy Pico De Gallo

This is how I make my pico de gallo. It's easy to make, and easy to add to! For a little punch, mince a Jalapeno or Serrano pepper and stir it in! -- posted by Ted and Sarah

High-Octane Olive Salsa

A salsa that tastes decidedly different because of the olives. The jalapeños add oomph. The rice vinegar can be replaced with white wine vinegar. -- posted by Michael Keizer

Fire-Roasted Pepper Salsa

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:39:30 -0500

If you like hot food, this may be for you! I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fire-roasted-pepper-salsa.html In 25 Techniques for Grilling (Harvard Common Press, 2009), author Ardie A. Davis makes a compelling case for this fire-roasted pepper salsa: it makes a great appetizer over cream cheese, a delicious side dish, or a complement to grilled foods. The trick to getting the peppers really fire roasted is to have the grill grate as close to the heat source as possible. On a charcoal grill, this means putting something like bricks, hardwood, or more charcoal in the bottom of your grill, so when you dump the coals in, they will sit higher, nearer the grill grate. -- posted by SassiFras

The Best Restaurant Salsa Recipe II

This is it! I love salsa and I'm always making new salsa recipes. I've tweaked this to perfection. Follow it exactly and you won't be able to quit eating it. I know it seems so simple and that is what is so entirely amazing. This is exactly like you would keep asking them to refill at a restaurant. Now make it at home and eat! -- posted by Chef #1394071

Tucson Salsa- Mild

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:28:17 -0500

Since I was a Fire Chief in Tucson, I made this recipe for my wife and girls. It was always well liked at Fire Dept. functions. This is NOT a hot and spicy salsa. Now that I am retired, my girls still request it for their parties. Enjoy! -- posted by Susie Pots & Pans

Muir Glen Fire Roasted Salsa

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:57:57 -0500

This is a recipe that I found on the label of Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles. It's a very simple salsa recipe and doesn't require the addition of a jalapeno pepper, but still has a kick from the chiles in the tomatoes. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by LARavenscroft
