Better Than Restaurant Salsa
Restaurant style salsa has that deep rich roasted tomato flavor you love from your favorite cantina, brightened with fresh veggies and cilantro.
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 14.5 ounce can of diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 4 ounce can of fire roasted diced green chilies
- juice of 1 or 2 limes, to taste
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sherry vinegar, more to taste
- 1/2 cup minced colorful bell peppers
- 1 red or green jalapeno, minced (seeds and all)
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- With the motor going, drop the two cloves of garlic into the food processor and let go until completely minced. Turn the machine off and add the can of tomatoes and the can of chilies, without draining, to the processor. Pulse until everything is broken down but still has some texture. This is a matter of personal preference, if you like it smoother, pulse a few more times. Remove the salsa to a bowl and stir in the lime juice, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Stir in the minced peppers, onion, and cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust any of the ingredients to suit yourself. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
- For a less spicy salsa remove the seeds and veins from the hot peppers, or leave them out entirely.
- For a smoother texture, throw everything in the blender or processor and blitz.
