Salsa Casa Recipes

SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, tomatillo, and salt to taste. Mix well. Add 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, and taste. If you desire your salsa with more of a kick, add the remaining 1/2 jalapeno. If you are satisfied with the salsa's heat, do not add the remaining jalapeno pepper. Cover the salsa, and chill until ready to serve.

FRESH HOMEMADE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, red onion, yellow onion, green chilies, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor. Pulse processor until mixture is combined, yet remains chunky. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

MI CASA SALSA (FROM COSTA MESA RESTRAUNT)

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor place jalepenos and 1/2 cup onions. Blend for a few seconds. Add 2 cans of the tomatoes (save the petite diced), cumin, sugar, garlic salt, lime juice, pepper. Process until ingredients are mixed well. Add cilantro a bit at a time until the desired taste is achieved. I always end up adding a bit more of garlic salt, pepper or lime juice, depending on my tastes for the day. Pour from blender into a bowl and add the other can of tomatoes and the rest of the onion. You can add more onion or even some green peppers if you like. Chill for a few hours.
• As the original recipe states: " Fat free enjoy with baked tortilla chips" Thanks my dear friend Esther!
• Place in Blender or food processor.

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.
