Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to rolling boil add tomatoes, jalapenos, onion ect. (you can add any kind of peppers you like).
  • Boil until vegetables get soft and tomatoes start to peel.
  • Then drain.
  • In blender combine the handful of cilantro and dry ingredient (I usually just eye ball it), then add the vegetables.
  • Bend to your liking. The longer you blend the thinner the salsa. And enjoy!
  • NOTE: For milder salsa seed the jalapenos before boiling.

PERFECT SALSA

This salsa is like baby bear's porridge: just right! For me that is, and hopefully for you too. It has just the right amount of heat, with the secret ingredient being liquid smoke, which adds a layer of slight smokiness. It should be allowed to sit, preferably overnight. The flavors develop after being mixed together, so when you taste while making it, realize that you will be able to taste more of the heat after giving it some time.
