A refreshingly sweet and tangy blend. Especially good when cooked on the grill and served with a mild fish such as tilapia. If you are grilling fish, the salsa can be cooked on the grill at the same time and served over the fillets.

NECTARINE SALSA



Nectarine Salsa image

This is a variation on a nectarine salsa a local pick-your-own farm sells. They printed their recipe in the local paper a few years ago, to their detriment, since I now make my own instead of buying theirs! Jalapeno pepper is optional. Ever since the time I got some on my bare hands and couldn't wear my contact lenses for two days, I've been leery of them, and this tastes fine with or without it. Obviously it will have more of a kick with it. You can also substitute lemon juice for the lime juice. I've also used peaches or pineapple in this. My husband and I have been known to devour this in one sitting. It tastes even better if you put it in the fridge and let the flavors mingle, provided you've the patience to wait that long.

CHEF JOHN'S NECTARINE SALSA image

Categories     Peach     Pepper     Side

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup nectarine, finely diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/3 cup onions, finely diced
2 tablespoons jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon (and more to taste) salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly groud black peppr
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Combine nectarines, bell pepper, onions, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a bowl. Stir in lime juice, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate to let flavors develop, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Before serving, stir in black pepper. Add a pinch more salt, if needed.
  • Note: This salsa will work with any stone fruit, but nectarines are my favorite. They're usually sweet, even when still a bit firm, which I prefer texturally over a perfectly ripe price of fruit. Having said that, if you do have a few peaches to use up this summer, this is something to keep in mind.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH NECTARINE SALSA RECIPE



Grilled Halibut With Nectarine Salsa Recipe image

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 nectarines pitted and diced
1/4 red onion chopped
1 jalapeño pepper seeded, deveined, and chopped
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
4 halibut steaks - (6 oz ea)
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
Cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Spray the broiler or grill rack with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Preheat the broiler, or prepare the grill. In a medium non-reactive bowl, combine the nectarines, onion, jalapeño, minced cilantro, lemon juice and honey; toss to combine. Sprinkle both sides of the halibut steaks with the black pepper.

Serving Provides: 1 Fruit/Vegetable, 3 Protein/Milk. Points Per Serving: 5.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe nectarines: Use ripe and juicy nectarines to ensure the best flavor. Look for fruits that are slightly soft to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • Chop the nectarines evenly: Cut the nectarines into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. This will also help the salsa have a more consistent texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and mint add a burst of flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: The salsa should be cooked just until the nectarines are softened and the flavors have melded together. Overcooking will make the salsa mushy and bland.
  • Let the salsa cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and blend together. You can also store the salsa in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

This nectarine salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be served as a dip with chips or crackers, as a topping for grilled meats or fish, or as a flavorful addition to tacos or burritos. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
