Salsa Frenzy


Ok so we started a Salsa Frenzy. We went to town with purchasing Yellow Chili, Jalapenos, Anaheim Chili, Onions, Garlic all you can think of. Our first attempt was at fresh salsa. Basically we took our ingredients diced them and mixed. However we were not fully satisfied. I should say my palette less than the Mrs.

I was looking for more. More flavor, more heat, more real Mexican. We started out roasting our Yellow Peppers, Jalapenos and Roma Tomatoes in a dry pan over medium high heat. Once they were done roasting (skin blistering) we placed in a bowl that was lined with a moist paper towel. We then covered them with a moist one as well and let cool.

After about 15 minutes we began to peel (using gloves) the blistered skin from all the ingredients. Also the tops were chopped off the chilis and jalapenos. Once this was complete they were tossed in the food processor (blender was in the dishwasher) and mixed. We added Sea Salt, Garlic, Lime and Onion to the mix, and viola! After a little trial and error this is what we came up with:

5 Roma Tomatoes

2 Yellow Chilis

3 Jalapenos

1 Lime

3 Garlic Cloves

1/4 White Onion

*Cilatro would be good however we didn't have any.

Sea Salt to preference
