Jalapeno Cilantro Lime Salsa Recipes

ROASTED JALAPEñO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a dry pan to medium-hot and add the jalapeños, onion, and garlic.
• Cook until the peppers are completely blackened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• Cut the stems off of the jalapeños and place them in your blender.
• Remove the garlic cloves from their husks and add to your blender.
• Add the onion and cilantro, 1/4 cup of water, lime juice, and 1 tsp. salt.
• Blend for 30 seconds.
• Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil to medium-hot in the same pan that you roasted the jalapeños.
• Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil. This step is called "seasoning" the salsa.
• After 1 minute in the hot oil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This deepens and intensifies the flavor.
• After 15 minutes, take and adjust the salt if needed.

FRESH SALSA WITH CILANTRO & LIME

Steps:

• Finely dice tomatoes & onion and place in medium glass mixing bowl. Add chopped cilantro.
• Slice jalapenos in half to remove the seeds and the membrane than that holds them. Finely dice peppers and add to tomatoes and onion. (Note: The membrane is where the heat of the pepper comes from. How much of the membrane you leave in the pepper will determine the heat of your salsa. You may want to wear gloves while you work with the jalapenos. If not, wash hands thoroughly with dish washing liquid afterwards and do not touch face.)
• Add vinegar, garlic, chili powder and 2 tsp of salt and sugar. Toss well. Taste to determine if another tsp of salt and/or sugar is needed.
• Squeeze lime over salsa. Toss once more. Cover and refrigerate or serve immediately with tortilla chips or with any Tex Mex dish.

CILANTRO LIME SALSA

Steps:

• Roughly chop the tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Mince the garlic cloves. Make sure to remove the seeds, membranes, and stem from the bell peppers and cut off the tomato stems. Add it all to a large food processor cup.
• Add 2 tbsp of fresh lime juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp sea salt to the food processor. Put the lid on and pulse it a few times or until you are happy with the consistency of the salsa.
• Taste the salsa and add more lime juice and salt if it's needed. Put the salsa in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill prior to serving.

JALAPENO SALSA

Steps:

• Place jalapenos in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until jalapenos soften and begin to lose their shine, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Peel the skin from the tomatoes and add tomatoes to the blender.
• Place the onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in the blender with the jalapenos and tomatoes. Blend to desired consistency.
