RE: Budget101.com : tnt salsa recipe… was…. bbq b.day party
my salsa recipe
1 Big (32oz / 46 oz or whatever size it is) can of whole or diced tomatoes
Large or Small onion – chopped finely.
1 (or more) Jalapeno Pepper chopped (these are usually somewhat mild)
2 (or more or less) Serrano peppers (these are hot)
1/2+ tsp each: (** Note at bottom)
Lemon Pepper
Ground Cumin
Garlic Powder (not garlic salt)
1-2 Tbsp cilantro (chopped) (optional)
Place all ingredients in a blender in reverse order (starting with the last ingredient).
Pulse, quickly, the blender 5 to 19 times. Remember you are making salsa – not gazpacho (cold tomato soup).
Or you can put the ingredients in a bowl in the order listed, then stir with one of those hand (stick or straight) blenders. The blades on the blender will chop everything up a bit more (I usually aim for the tomatoes) and mix it at the same time.
Do this until it is the desired consistency or chunkiness.
**Note – add more to taste after all blended
This can be stored in any container without metal on it for 1-2 months. If metal is there, the tomatoes will eat through it.
