SALSA, SALSA, SALSA

I love salsa and nothing beats fresh salsa, and if you can make a great salsa and make it quick and easy it's even better. I promise you once you try this recipe and see how easy it is you wont want to buy salsa in the jar again. Just a warning I aways make my salsa a little strong with garlic, take liberties with it. If you don't like so much garlic just put in less, but if your daring and don't mind if your significant other asks you if you have been eating garlic, for a few days after you eaten the salsa, then go for it.


Ingredients:

6-8 Roma tomatoes

1 bunch Green Onions

6-8 Cloves of Garlic (or if you don't want to use the cloves and prefer to use the jars, which is what I do, then put in about 2 TSP)

1 C Cilantro (leaves only)

4 Jalapeno Peppers (I take out most of the seeds, if you like more heat just leave some seeds in)

1 Med Yellow Onion

1- 15 oz can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes

2 TSP Garlic Olive Oil (if you don't have GOO, you can use EVOO)

Sea Salt to taste

Directions:

I give all my produce a rough chop to start. What that means is just this: I cut everything into about 1/2" chunks except the tomatoes. The tomatoes I cut into 1/8ths (not 1/8" just 1/8 sections) that is what a rough chop is. The reason I do this is because I can admit I am a little OCD about a few things, and I like my salsa pieces to be all about the same size when I am done. If the chopper doesn't have to work so hard one some things then they all seem to end up about the same size. So if you would like to have a chunkier salsa maybe you don't want to rough chop first.


Just a note if you are using the multi chopper that goes on the Bosch you will have to divide your ingredients and then mix them when your done. This amount of ingredient actually makes about 8 or 9 cups of salsa depending on the size of you tomatoes.

Put Onion, Green Onion, Jalapenos, Cilantro, Garlic, and Garlic Olive oil in a multi chopper. Using the moment speed, chop until you achieve a nice consistent size.

Then Add:

Tomatoes

Continue to chop on moment speed unit a nice medium to small size consistence is seen. on the outside sometimes it can just look like you've almost chopped too much if you like it more on the small size, which I do.

Last add the Muir Glen Tomatoes

These will chop very fast so be very careful or you will end up with some consistency that is over chopped and not what you are looking for.

put contents into a container that can be refrigerated, add your Sea Salt to taste.

You can serve right away but it is aways better after the flavors have had a chance to merry together.

I hope you enjoy this really simple Salsa recipe as much as my family and I do. Let me know what you think after you have tried it.

Enjoy!
