Salsa Romana Recipes

CROSTINI ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the slices of ciabatta on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven. Place the prosciutto slices and mozzarella on the crostini toast and return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 8 more minutes.
• Meanwhile combine the butter and the sage leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and starting to brown in spots and the sage leaves are crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the crostini to a serving plate. Drizzle the crostini with the sage butter and serve immediately.

FRESH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Place your tomatoes into a food processor and pulse 6-8 times, or until they reach a good salsa consistency. Depending on the size of your food processor you might have to do this in 2 batches. Transfer to a bowl once processed.
• Add the chopped up green pepper and onion into the bowl with the tomatoes.
• Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes into the bowl and mix until everything is combined.
• Serve with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite Mexican meal!

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.

THE BEST CANNING SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

ROASTED ROMA TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Lay the tomatoes and onions (and peppers, if desired) on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and broil in the oven until skins are dry, hard, and slightly browned, and onions are well-browned (this can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how ripe your tomatoes are).
• While still hot, remove tomatoes from sheet and place (with skins) in a large ramekin or bowl.
• Mash the tomatoes slightly.
• Add in onion and peppers; stir.
• While still very hot, drop the chocolate chip in and stir until melted.
• Stir in corn.
• Stir in next 11 ingredients, stirring well until very well combined.
• Stir in vinegar and water; stir well (again!).
• Serve warm or cold, but store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Enjoy!
