AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SALSA ROJA



Authentic Mexican Salsa Roja image

This Mexican-style homemade salsa is fresh, unbelievably delicious, easy to make and seriously the best homemade salsa recipe you'll ever have.

Provided by Chef Kathy McDaniel

Categories     Appetizer     Condiment     Snack

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ripe medium tomatoes (stem removed)
2 - 4 jalapeno or serrano chiles (or more for additional heat)
1/2 medium onion (diced)
1/3 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon of lime juice (or more to taste)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add the tomatoes and the chiles to the pan and char on all sides, rotating the vegetables occasionally until blackened. This can take about 6 minutes for the chiles and 10 to 15 minutes for the tomatoes. The tomato skins should begin to pull away from the flesh and the chiles will look blistered.
  • Transfer the chiles to a cutting board and allow them to cool. Place the tomatoes, including any charred skin that has completely fallen off, in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse a couple of times for about 10 seconds or until the tomatoes are blended but with a few small chunks for texture.
  • Transfer the blended tomatoes to a bowl. Cut the charred chiles in half lengthwise and remove the stems and seeds. You can remove the ribs if you don't like the salsa too spicy. Chop the chiles into small dice.
  • Mix the chiles, onions and cilantro with the tomatoes until combined. Stir in the lime juice and salt. Taste and season with additional lime juice and salt, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until cooled. Serve with chips.

FRESH TOMATO WITH FRESH GINGER SAUCE



Fresh Tomato With Fresh Ginger Sauce image

This sauce is not a traditional Italian sauce, but don't let that stop you -- the surprise of fresh ginger in a tomato sauce is utterly delicious. This is a great sauce to make ahead and reheat when you need a really quick meal. To make this sauce even quicker, you can serve it unpureed or unmilled -- but I think the extra step of smoothing it out better distributes the ginger flavor. This sauce is superb with spaghetti or any long, thin, dried pasta. Recipe by David Rosengarten

  • Put the sauce through a food mill or puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
