I made Salsa the other day for a Small Group meeting, and it was a HUGE hit! We are total salsa snobs! I don't really care for most of the bottled pr jarred varieties, they are just to processed and it's like they aren't even trying to make it taste or seem fresh...
We haven't even been able to find a salsa we like in a local restaurant, granted we live in a relatively small town...but still, looks like someone around here would get it....anyway
Here's what I made... (it will serve about 15)
Start with 10 big tomatoes, and chop into small pieces (this takes a while, and if you can avoid it, don't do it while both your children are up and in need of dinner )
Add 5 red chili peppers (it still was not even medium in my opinion) seeds and all, 1 red onion, chopped fine, 3 cloves of garlic grated in, 1 handful of cilantro and parsley finely chopped, the juice of 1 lemon and a few drizzles of Olive Oil.
Mix it all together, and stick in the fridge. Leave for 24 HOURS!! This is important!! Don't serve it to soon, it needs this long for all the juices to get flowing! After maybe 8 hours, taste and see if you want to add more peppers or possibly some salt, but take into consideration that chips have salt too!
This was such a hit, I had people asking me all night what the recipe was and calling me Betty Crocker!
Amen.
