Mark Bittman's Tomato-Onion Salsa

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:26:06 -0500

This is a very easy mild salsa recipe from Mark Bittman's excellent cookbook, "How to Cook Everything". This simple recipe is good as is but is also well suited to adding it whatever flavours you enjoy. (You can add some chopped cilantro, lime juice instead of lemon, corn kernels, chile peppers, etc...) Makes about 2 cups. -- posted by blucoat

I don't know where I found this recipe but everyone really loves it. We can't go to any of our friends home without them asking us to bring it. We tend to use more jalapenos than it calls for but that's a matter of taste of course. -- posted by Papa in Mass.

Salsa Cruda / Pico De Gallo

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 01:20:31 -0400

This receipe comes from the cookbook 'Salsa Cooking' which is an amazing cookbook. The salsa is as close to the real thing as I have tried outside of Mexico. This salsa is also the base for the Recipe #362332 The receipe calls for grilled tomatoes but I prefer fresh, cored tomatoes instead. I agree with Katzen's review about adding oil, if you are using recipe as a regular salsa there is no need to add oil. If using for the soup you do need the oil You can spice up the salsa by leaving some of the jalapeno seeds in -- posted by Deantini

Mock-O-Bell (Taco Bell Copycat) Taco Sauce

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:33:32 -0400

I've always loved the taste of Taco Bell brand taco sauce. But I can go through an entire bottle in just two days! I've spent plenty of time getting the flavors just right with my own "copycat" version of this unique condiment. I recommend using only New Mexico chile powder, which you can buy inexpensively in clear cellophane bags in the Mexican foods section of your local supermarket -- as well as great quality ground cumin. Lawry's seasoned salt is a must, with just the right balance of onion; Worcestershire sauce is a "secret ingredient" with perfect hints of tamarind; A-1 sauce gives just the right tang, liquid smoke lends a great smoky flavor, and fresh citrus juice brings all of the flavors together! If you love Taco Bell taco sauce, you will love this on your favorite foods -- and probably not in moderation! -- posted by Bazaar®

Tomato and Red Onion Salsa

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:19:37 -0400

Recipe from Neiman Marcus Taste. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Fresh Fire-Roasted Tomatillo Salsa With Cilantro and Lime

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:11:08 -0400

This is my recipe for the best-tasting roasted salsa verde I know how to make... and I've been making it this way for years. I simply roast fresh tomatillos under the broiler, zip it up in a food processor with fresh onion, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro and fresh lime juice... with just enough salt to taste. What could be easier -- or more delicious? You can have fresh salsa verde in minutes -- and better than any Mexican restaurant -- with this fast and easy recipe. If you're really in a hurry, you can actually skip the roasting process altogether -- and simply puree all of the listed ingredients together for a fresh, clean taste. Any method you choose to make this, it will positively be... DELICIOSO! -- posted by Bazaar®

An unusually delightful blending of severeal fruits & vegetables, this salsa goes well with any number of meats & fish!

To make this, i used the little blender that came with my emersion blender, but if you dont have one you can use a small food processor. The salt will draw moisture out of the tomatoes, so if it bothers you you can drain it, but i dont bother. -- posted by hotdish

The Best Salsa Ever

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:42:13 -0400

I like a thin and spicy salsa for my tortilla chips, eggs, tacos and more. This is a very simple version of something you might find at a salsa bar in a Mexican restaurant. If you like it chunky you might consider diced tomatoes and less water. Not bad for something you can make with a $1 can of tomatoes and some ingredients in the spice rack. For a milder version you can skip the habanero sauce and use your favorite hot sauce. -- posted by NorCal Will

Fresh Salsa, Arizona Style

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:20:38 -0400

This is a recipe from my Aunt Janice who lived in Arizona during the winters years ago. It's fresh and zappy and my family eats jars of it when we make huge batches during the summer and even the winters! NOTE: If you can't find fresh peppers or tomatoes, you can substitute canned. Just use as many canned peppers as you want. We use about 3-4 cans of diced canned tomatoes. In the summertime we freeze cilantro that we grow in our garden wrapped in a paper towel and use that in the winter instead of buying it pricey fresh. Also if it's too spicy, you can always add more tomatoes or even throw in a can of kidney beans! -- posted by Chef #771374

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

Salsa De Mirasol

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:15:20 -0400

This is a warm and wonderful salsa made from the aji mirasol chile. I discovered it after I posted a request for pure chile powder on this site, and a member directed me to worldspice.com. This is a company in Seattle that grinds your spices directly before shipping. Along with my powder, I decided to try these whole chiles and the recipe on their site, and used it over grilled halibut. I am tough to please--I don't like a chile to burn my mouth, and to avoid that unpleasantness, I often end up with a dish that is too bland. This is a perfect in-between. There is enough heat for interest, but the chile does not overwhelm the delightful herbs and lime combination. I hope you enjoy! -- posted by Vicki Kaye

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

Salsa

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:15:02 -0500

A mild tomato and sweet pepper salsa with cilantro and lime. Easy and fast to make using a food processor, but can be prepared by chopping the vegetables by hand if a food processor is not available. For a thicker salsa squeeze some of the juice out of the peppers and onions after processing and before adding the other ingredients and strain some of the liquid from the canned tomatoes before adding them to the mix. -- posted by Chef #578370

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

Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:53:58 -0500

This is an authentic mexican style table salsa. I have spent years perfecting this to achieve the taste of the salsas I had while in Mexico. It's a smooth table salsa which is typical of authentic mexican table salsa. You can make it as mild or hot as you like by adding or reducing the amount of chiltepines or chile pequins. Enjoy! -- posted by Raw Chef

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
