Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

THE BEST RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

This is the best restaurant-style salsa recipe-at least, by our family's estimation! It's pretty straightforward to make, and you can't help but dunk chip after chip after chip!

Categories     Condiments

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds tomatoes ((any medium to large ripe tomato))
oil ((any neutral oil with a relatively high smoke point))
1-2 jalapeño peppers
1-2 serrano peppers
1/2 medium Spanish onion ((or 1 small yellow onion))
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro ((roughly chopped))
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon liquid mesquite smoke

Steps:

  • Heat a grill over medium-high heat.
  • In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes in a drizzle of any high smoke point oil. Grab your peppers and onion, and walk them out to the grill. (You can also use an indoor grill pan or a cast iron skillet for this step. I've also had good results just charring the onion and jalapeno straight over a gas burner.)
  • Toss the oiled tomatoes, peppers and onion onto the grill. The goal is for the skin of the peppers and the edges of the onion to get some char, for the tomato skin to get blistered enough that you can peel it off, and for the raw edge to get taken off of most of the tomato. Don't let it get overcooked and mushy, though.
  • Remove the tomato, peppers, and onion from the grill. Put the tomatoes back in the same bowl you used to toss them in. Cover the bowl with a plate to let the tomatoes steam. This will help remove the skin. Use the blade of a knife to scrape the skins off of the peppers, and remove seeds as desired (we do not remove them).
  • Transfer the peppers to the bowl of a food processor along with the onion, garlic, and cilantro. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped.
  • Using your fingers, peel the tomatoes. The skin should come off easily. If you can't get every last bit of skin, don't worry. Add the tomatoes to the food processor, along with the white vinegar, salt, and liquid smoke. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency (from chunky to runny).
  • Pour the salsa into a resealable container and transfer to the refrigerator. The salsa is best served chilled, so let it sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or ideally overnight, before serving.

MY RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA-SMALL BATCH



My Restaurant-Style Salsa-Small Batch image

This recipe is adapted from The Pioneer Woman's blog recipe. Everyone who has tried this salsa absolutely loves it. It is close to my Enough For A Superbowl Party Salsa only a much smaller amount. I think that this would make a great Mexican Gazpacho recipe for summertime. I have found that Hunts brand tomatoes is the best for this recipe. There really is a difference in flavor of brands. I also only use Rotel brand because the flavor is consistent. Here are the heat breakdowns: Mild: use mild (and don't use the jalapeno) Rotel Medium: use original Rotel Hot: use hot Rotel

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 ounces diced tomatoes (Hunt's brand)
10 ounces Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1/2 bunch green onion, trimmed and cut into thirds
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed (I use the stems sometimes)
2 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, stemmed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Pour the tomatoes, Rotel, green onions and cilantro into an 7-cup food processor (or make in half batches and combine when done). Pulse the mixture about 15 times.
  • Add garlic, jalapeno (if using), sugar, salt and cumin.Pulse until the consistency that you like. I pulse about 10 mores times.
  • Pour into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld (If I am in a rush, I will stick in the freezer for about 30 minutes).
  • It will keep for at least a week, and if we haven't used it all by then, which rarely happens, I add it into soup or chili.

FRESH RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA



Fresh Restaurant-Style Salsa image

This addictive salsa is restaurant quality, or maybe even better! It's fresh and flavorful, not too spicy, and easy to make in a food processor with a mix of ripe and canned Roma tomatoes. This makes a big batch which is good because it will go fast. Serve with lots of thin, crispy tortilla chips and a margarita, of course!
