Last week, my friend Deb sent out
an SOS because her tomato plants overfloweth.
Annie, my friend from McAllen, answered the call with her homemade salsa
recipe. I made this dish earlier in the
week but we ate it before I could take a picture. Darn – I had to make it again!
Ingredients:
 |
| Salsa |
1. 4-5
large tomatoes
2. ½
to 1 onion
3. Cilantro
4. Jalapeno
pepper
5. 1-2
cloves of garlic
6. ½
T lime juice
7. 1
t salt
Place ingredients #1-5 in a food processor and blend together. In case you were wondering, I used 5 tomatoes, 1/2 sweet yellow onion, 1/4 bunch of cilantro, 1 jalapeno pepper and 2 cloves of garlic. Pour salsa in a strainer to remove the excess liquid. Pout into a bowl then add the lime juice and salt. Stir to combine. Serve with chips.

Did you boil the tomatoes at all or just throw them in the blender raw?
Hi Stacey - I threw them in raw, skin and all (although I did remove the white part where the stem attaches at the top). I did the same for the jalapeno - removed the stem and the white part inside, left some seeds though. I also pulled off the cilantro leaves from the stem - but that's just me.
Great, thanks for the info. I have always used canned tomatoes but I wanted to start using fresh tomatoes but wasn't really sure what to do with them to prep them.
