Fresh Salsa - Basic Recipe
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 @ 9:08 AM Fresh Salsa - Basic Recipe

Ingredients:
3-4 Roma Tomatoes
1 whole Jalepeno
1 can plain diced tomatoes
1 tsp. crushed Red pepper
5-6 green onions or 1/2 cup reg.
dash garlic salt
7 drops (shakes) Tabasco Sauce
pinch black pepper

Directions:
Chop all the vegetables in to large size pieces and place in blender. Use the button called chop. Blend all the way up to the top. Stop. Don't overblend or it will be too watery! This fresh salsa usually keeps up to about a week in an airtight container!

Variations: (some like it hot)
The basic recipe is pretty mild, but if you are like Me and my family like it very hot! Also I usually use whatever tomatoes I have on hand from the garden or whatever. I also usually put 9-10 shakes of Tabasco or Piquin Sauce in mine. You can use whichever brand you like as far as the pepper sauce goes also. Now as to the jalepenos I usually put anywhere from 5-7 very hot fresh jalepenos from my garden. You can use store bought pickled ones if you don't have any fresh they work good too. Also the kind of peppers can vary too - you could also use habaneros or serrano peppers. Whichever you prefer. Also if you don't want to use any canned tomatoes you can just substitute them for fresh. And with the green tomatoes the more of the green part you use the darker and less red your hot sauce will be. It won't hurt anything and will taste fine, just if you want a pretty reddish salsa don't go overboard with the stems.
