SOUTH TEXAS SALSA

This recipe is so simple and has not changed for generations!

Provided by Emma Menchaca

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large vine ripened tomatoes
1/2 medium white onion
1/2 small garlic clove
1 bunch or handful of fresh cilantro
2 serrano chiles
1 can(s) stewed tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1 pot of water
SOUTH TEXAS SALSA

Steps:

  • 1. Add tomatoes and serranos to pot of water and bring to a boil. Let it boil for one minute and then take off of heat. Leave ingredients in water for about 5 min's. Remove items from water very carefully they will be hot. Remove stem button and skin from tomatoes. Place in blender. Remove stems from peppers and cut in half. At this time you will either want to remove the seeds for a milder sauce or leave the seeds in for a hotter sauce. I leave the seeds in!! Add peppers to blender.
  • 2. Take your half of a white onion and quarter it. Add to blender. (You can use a yellow onion if you prefer) At this point you will find you might want to adjust the amount of onion to less or more. The onion can overpower the salsa so a med onion with the ends cut off I have found to be just enough.
  • 3. Wash and add a small handful of cilantro, 1/2 a small garlic clove, stewed tomatoes(un-drained) and teaspoon of salt. (Garlic is another ingredient you can adjust to your taste. Also using a couple dashes of powdered garlic will work just fine.) Cover and run blender on "chop" until ingredients are chopped up completely. At this time you will want to taste before pouring it out of the blender to see if you need a touch of salt or some other ingredient. I have used this recipe for so long it is pretty much set but everyone's tastes can differ. I hope you enjoy this salsa. It is a great appetizer with tortilla chips or add it to ANY food you like especially breakfast eggs!!! It will keep for about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks in your refrigerator. Enjoy!!!

TANGY TEXAS SALSA



Tangy Texas Salsa image

I'm a "transplant" from Wisconsin currently living in Texas. Even after 20 years, I can't get enough of our wonderful local citrus. This is one way to work it into a main dish. The combination of tangy fruit, spicy jalapeno and distinctive cilantro is perfect over any meat, poultry or fish. We also dip into it with chips. -Lois Kildahl, McAllen, Texas

  • Dice the tomatoes and onions finely. This will help the salsa to blend together well.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. You can use cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to flavor your salsa. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.
  • Taste your salsa as you go. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve your salsa immediately or chill it for later. Salsa is best served fresh, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
