Home Made Salsa!

[YaniBoni]

I thought I would post this here since I posted it in menu review

Here is how I make my salsa: (last time I gave it out I forgot the onion! sorry)

3 Tomatoes
2 jalpeno chiles (more for hotter less for milder)
1/4 of a medium onion
2 small cloves of garlic

take all your ingredients and annd wrap them tight in foil paper. Place them on pan and let them cook low for about 10minutes on each side until you feel that the tomatoes are mushy. Make sure all the juices stay in the foil. After pour the juice into a bowl & peel all the ingredients (you do not have to remove all the black stuff) now put the ingredients in the bowl and you can eaither do as I & take a empty tomato sauce with both lids removed and squash it all up so it stays chunky....or you can put it in the blender on low. Add pepper & salt to taste!

What about the cilantro?

[FunkyFabDiva]

Its not salsa without the cilantro =(

[YaniBoni]

Sorry guys AUTHENTIC Mexican Salsa does not have cilantro...that is americanized..just like Burritos but you can add it if youd like

[FunkyFabDiva]

Yani Boni, there is no such thing as burritos or tacos in Mexico, I agree But no cilantro?

[YaniBoni]

Hey Funky
yeah there is cilantro...but they don't put it in Salsa. They use it in other things like cooking soups & stuff.

There´s a Spanish salsa: "green mojo" which has cilantro and is served with fishes:
Mojo verde:
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp.water
salt
4/5 tbsp.cilantro
2 tbsp. vinegar
8 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. cummin
Mix well (better in food processor)

Sounds good. I'll try it.

[MotherOfGizmo]

Really? I never knew that was an american thing. Salsa tastes so blase' w/o it. Guess I like my slasa American Style then.

[YaniBoni]

mmm Pau! that sounds good!! I need to try it!

MotherofGizmo: ohh I love cilantro too! but this Salsa is a roasted Salsa, so the taste comes from there, if you put cilantro in it the poor cilantro will wilt.Maybe it can be added once cold hey whatever tickles your taste buds
