Jalapeno Salsa

With the available fresh herbs and vegetables, it is time to bring out some recipes to put them to work.  While at our local farmer’s market, at one of my stops, a savvy young man from  was selling vegetables selected to make fresh salsa all in one container. I thought, why not?

Even though I have never made salsa before, I wanted to give it a try.  A recipe was placed in the container along with the vegetables that read:

Fresh Salsa
Make fresh salsa by:

  • Dicing various colored tomatoes
  • Add chopped onion, garlic & hot pepper
  • Season with sea salt, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a touch of sugar

Optional ingredients:

  • cilantro & or fresh lime juice

Sounds easy enough except I do not have a food processor so the blender will have to do.
I asked Laurie Calloway, what I should do since she helps provide recipe articles for the magazine, her experience is way beyond mine.
 
Laurie suggested to “spread the vegetables out on a tray like in this picture. I do not put oil on them, although I spray the sheet with PAM first.

ingredients
I roasted them at 425 degrees until the skins crack and slightly char. Then, I let them cool, then blended them together in a blender.”
 
Now that doesn’t sound too bad.  I decided to give it a try.

Farmers Market Ingredients

This is what I had to start with.

Cookie Sheet

I spread the vegetables out on the table to see just what I had.  I thought about adding to them, then decided it would be best to just use what was in the container so I could evaluate what I had purchased.

Rinse

 A quick rinse before the cutting board.

Jalapeno

I did remove the seeds and core of the jalapeno pepper.  I am not able to eat very spicy food even though Molly did her best to change that over the years, I still can’t eat as spicy as some.  Some like it hot and some not.  I was worried that just the one might make it too hot, but that was not the case.

Cookie Sheet Prep
I quartered the larger tomatoes and diced the jalapeno, onion, and garlic.  Then sprayed the foil lined cookie sheet with a no stick cooking spray and spread the vegetables out on the sheet.  I had the oven preheated to 425F.

Baked Ingredients

For the skins to start to wrinkle took about 10 minutes at 425F.

Blender
I started blending with the garlic, jalapeno and green onion.
Tomatoe

Tomatoes and more tomatoes.

Mixing

  Almost done and the blender is working fine.

Salsa
I didn’t add any other ingredients such as sea salt, vinegar or other things you might ordinarily add.  I just wanted to see how the salsa tasted on its own.  If I do say so myself, not bad for the first time. If you like it hot, add more jalapenos.  This year we have a bumper crop.
 
I am sure that many of you have your own salsa recipes, if you would like to send them to me please do and I will publish them to the readers.
