Salsa Verde o Roja Cruda image

When tomatoes are at their best, we recommend making the salsa roja. During the rest of the year (even in winter), tomatillos still have plenty of flavor and can be your go-to salsa base.

SALSA CRUDA



Salsa Cruda image

I made this salsa for a Mexican themed party we had for our family. Everybody loved it. There really is nothing like fresh salsa. It beats the canned stuff any day. For a time-saver,I didn't roast the jalapenos it calls for,but just added them as is.I also couldn't find the dry chilis so omitted those as well.It still came out perfect.Add as many or as little jalapenos as you want depending on the strength of youre taste buds.Bon apetite.

SUMMER TOMATO-CORN SALSA CRUDA (RAW SAUCE) FOR PASTA



Summer Tomato-Corn Salsa Cruda (Raw Sauce) for Pasta image

This is from The One-Dish Vegetarian by Maria Robbins. The author notes, "This uncooked sauce can only be made in the height of summer when vine-ripened tomatoes and sweet corn, picked only hours before, are available. " I say it's absolutely delicious. I wish I could eat it year-round.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 40m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -3 large garlic clove (depending on how much you like raw garlic)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 medium tomatoes
3 ears sweet corn
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 -2 fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Crush garlic in garlic press or mortar and mash with salt to create a paste. Add the olive oil and mix well.
  • Chop tomatoes in 1/2-inch cubes. Add them with juices to garlic mixture in large bowl.
  • Use a small, sharp knife to cut the corn kernels from the cob. Add to the bowl.
  • Finely chop basil and parsley. Add to bowl, along with lots of pepper. Add chopped jalapenos, if desired. Mix well, cover, and let stand at room temperature while cooking pasta. For the most flavor, let the sauce stand longer (1-3 hours), but do not refrigerate.
  • Cook 1 pound of your favorite pasta, drain, and toss with sauce. Serve with freshly grated parmesan or your favorite cheese or cheese substitute, if desired (I don't think it needs any).
