RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

Food Network's Ree Drummond shares her recipe for homemade restaurant-style salsa that the whole family will love!

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.

SOOZ'S EASY HOMEMADE BLENDED SALSA



Sooz's Easy Homemade Blended Salsa image

I have several recipes for salsa, this one for when we want a small batch, and a smooth, mild version. NOTE: This salsa gets better if it sits in the fridge for a day before eating, but it is good even if you want to eat it later in the day. If I want to chill it fast, I put it in the freezer for 15 minutes or so and then in the refrigerator until it is served. It should however chill for at least an hour total.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh tomatoes. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you like your salsa mild, omit the serrano pepper. If you like it hot, add an extra pepper or two.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes. You just want to heat them through and soften them slightly.
  • Add the lime juice to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the salsa immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This semi-homemade salsa is a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh, flavorful salsa without all the hassle of making it from scratch. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a weeknight dinner. So next time you're in need of a salsa fix, give this recipe a try.
