GREEN TOMATO SALSA VERDE



Green Tomato Salsa Verde image

Mexican salsa verde usually is made with tomatillos, not green tomatoes. (Tomatillos are in the same family as green tomatoes, but more closely related to the gooseberry.) But this version is a beautiful and delicious salsa, even without tomatillos.

Categories     condiments, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield About 1 3/4 cups (more if thinned with water)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound green tomatoes
2 to 3 jalapeño or serrano peppers (more to taste)
1/2 medium onion, preferably a white onion, chopped, soaked for five minutes in cold water, drained, rinsed and drained again on paper towels
Salt to taste
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
1/4 to 1/2 cup water, as needed (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the green tomatoes on the baking sheet, stem-side down, and place under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat. Broil two to five minutes, until charred. Using tongs, turn the tomatoes over, and grill on the other side for two to five minutes, until blackened. Remove from the heat. When cool enough to handle, core the tomatoes and remove the charred skin. Quarter and place in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade (I prefer the blender).
  • Add the remaining ingredients, except the water, to the blender or food processor, and blend to a coarse or a smooth puree (to your taste). Transfer to a bowl, taste and adjust seasonings, and thin out with water if desired. Allow to stand for 30 minutes or longer before serving to allow the flavors to develop. You may wish to thin out after it stands.

GREEN TOMATO SALSA



Green Tomato Salsa image

This is actually my friend's mom's recipe. But I have made it three years in a row now and canned hundred's of jars. We usually have a bumper tomato crop and are able to pick green tomatoes from the garden. If they are on the small side use two for each one large tomato listed in the recipe. I usually pick one day and do six batches at once and can them well into the night. Also please note that when you put two or three batches in one large pot sometimes the bottom can burn one trick I use to prevent that is to take a wire coat hanger and bend it into a "V" and put it on top of your element under the pot I know sounds weird but it works! Cooking time does not include canning time.

Time 2h

Yield 12 quarts, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large green tomatoes
6 large tomatoes
6 large white onions
1 large red pepper
2 large green peppers
2 large yellow peppers
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 ounce) can tomato paste
8 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup vinegar (I like red wine but your fav will do)
1 garlic clove
jalapeno

Steps:

  • Chop all tomatoes into small pieces, throw into a large stock pot.
  • I like to run the onions and peppers through the food processor to keep tears to a minimum and to keep large pieces fairly small. Not processed enough to puree though. Or you can chop with a knife.
  • Take the jalapenos or any combo of hot peppers you like and run them through the food processor til very minced (nobody likes a big bite of hot pepper. I usually do 1/2 c of processed peppers for my mild, 1 c for medium and 1 1/2c - 2 c for hot. It does get hotter the longer it sits in the cupboard.
  • Throw all the chopped vegetables and remaining ingredients into the stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil on low for one hour.
  • Prepare your jars for canning. Heat jars and lids.
  • Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, wipe rims, place hot lids on jars and put screw bands on and finger tighten.
  • Process in a hot water bath for fifteen minutes.
  • Remove to the counter to cool.

ROASTED GREEN TOMATO SALSA



Roasted Green Tomato Salsa image

My sister inspired me to make a green salsa similar to how you would make one by roasting tomatillos, but using all green tomatoes instead. This is a tangy and fresh tasting salsa using fresh lime juice and cilantro. Change the peppers and spices to your liking! Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish.

GREEN (UN-RIPE) TOMATO SALSA FOR CANNING



Green (Un-Ripe) Tomato Salsa for Canning image

Summer heat came late and left a bit early this year...leaving lots of green tomatoes! This "throw together" green tomato salsa was declared "the best salsa I've ever had" by my brother-in-law. Cooking time includes canning process.

Provided by yogiclarebear

Categories     Peppers

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 pints

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 lbs green tomatoes, chopped small (as you prefer for salsa)
6 yellow onions, chopped (4 cups)
3 jalapenos, chopped with seeds (1/2 cup)
4 large red bell peppers, chopped (2 cups)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional, to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a large pot, mixing well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • To continue canning, bring salsa to a boil.
  • Ladle salsa into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe lids and jar edges clean before finger tightening lids and placing them back in the boiling canning pot.
  • Process (boil) jars for 15 minutes.
  • Remove carefully and let sit for 24 hours. Check lids for seal, and refrigerate any unsealed jars.

Tips:

  • Select the right tomatoes: Choose firm, green tomatoes that are free from blemishes and bruises. Smaller tomatoes are typically sweeter and have fewer seeds.
  • Prepare your tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the cores. Cut the tomatoes into small, even pieces.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and jalapeños, will add the most flavor to your salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: Green tomato salsa is best when it is cooked just until the tomatoes are softened. Overcooking will make the salsa mushy.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning: Before serving, taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Conclusion:

Green tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for topping tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It can also be served as a dip with tortilla chips or vegetables. With its tangy, slightly sweet flavor, green tomato salsa is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your next meal.
