Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium size vine ripened tomatoes (stem removed)
2 jalapeno peppers
1 poblano pepper
1 cup green onion (diced)
1 lime (juice of)
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder or sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
  • Continue to saute, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. See photos above. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
  • Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime, and canned tomatoes into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds). Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
  • Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving. Serve with your favorite Mexican dish or with chips.

CHRIS' MEXICAN SALSA



Chris' Mexican Salsa image

This is an outstanding salsa recipe! I have made it for about two years now. I now make 2-3 gallons each time because all of my family and friends want a jar of it. If you like it a little spicier just add more jalapenos. I use canned jalapenos because they have a much more consistent heat/flavor profile. If I am in a hurry, I will use canned tomatoes as well. Canned tomatoes seem to provide a darker red color. I utilize a food processor to make mine "smooth". If you want it to be more "chunky" hand chop all the vegetables. If you are going to store, please utilize normal canning procedures.

PEACHY MANGO SALSA, CANNED FOR CHRIS!



Peachy Mango Salsa, Canned for Chris! image

Chris aka Chef #1118755 made and reviewed my recipe #68547 and asked about canning it. This is the result of that recipe. I did add garlic and or ginger to it. Yes an optional choice. Used fresh jalapenos in place of the canned green chilies. Be sure not to use over ripe mango's, they need to be firm but fresh. If they are so soft you can't peel with a vegetable peeler they are too soft.
