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



The Best Restaurant-Style Salsa image

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!

Provided by Kaitlin

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.

BIG BATCH SALSA (FOR CANNING)



Big Batch Salsa (For Canning) image

My mom and I have made this salsa for years. This is the easiest way to can a big batch of salsa. Instead of cooking pots full of salsa on the stove and worrying that it will scorch on the bottom, this method slowly simmers one batch in an 18 qt. electric roaster (a church dinner style roaster). This is a thick, medium heat salsa that is slightly sweet. It is a staple in my holiday gift baskets. In fact, I get complaints from friends, family, and neighbors when I do not include it or if I run out before the next canning season! This year I made four batches - 52 quarts.

Time 3h30m

Yield 12-14 Quart, 104 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 quarts tomatoes, cored, peeled, and crushed (about 1 1/2 to 2, 5-gallon buckets of tomatoes)
6 cups onions, chopped (about 4 large onions)
2 cups jalapeno peppers, chopped (25-30 peppers, seeded)
12 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups white vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons salt
30 ounces tomato paste

Steps:

  • Fill roaster with tomatoes, crushing with hands or with an emersion blender as you add them to the pan.
  • Add onions, jalapenos, garlic, vinegar, sugar, salt, and tomato paste. (Note: Sometimes I need to let the tomatoes cook down before adding the sugar, vinegar, and tomato paste so that it will fit in the roaster.
  • Simmer 2 to 5 hours to desired thickness. Stir occasionally, scraping sides of roaster so that it does not burn. Adjust salt, sugar, and peppers to taste. You can add tomato juice if it becomes too thick.
  • Ladle hot salsa into jars, leaving ¼-inch head space.
  • Clean rim with damp cloth. Adjust two-piece caps.
  • Place jars in a hot water bath. Process 15 minutes (pints) or 20 minutes (quarts), after water comes to a boil.
  • Remove jars from hot water bath. After 12 hours, check seal, remove bands, and label.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: Using ripe, flavorful tomatoes is essential for making a great salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the salsa intensifies their flavor and adds a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh herbs, onions, and garlic will give your salsa the best flavor.
  • Don't over-process the salsa: Pulse the salsa in a food processor or blender just until it reaches your desired consistency. Over-processing can make the salsa too smooth and thin.
  • Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or cilantro.

Conclusion:

This recipe for restaurant-style salsa is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and make a delicious, versatile condiment. It's perfect for serving with chips, tacos, burritos, or any other Mexican dish. The salsa can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp. With its bright, fresh flavor and smoky depth, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
