Favorite salsa!!!?

Question

What is your favorite salsa. Include recipes on how to make it.

IM looking more for secret family recipes. You know the kind of stuff mother used to make when she was little living in mexico.

Answer 1

Tomatoes -- quarterd
2 Cloves garlic
¼ medium Yellow onion -- coarse chop
3 tablespoon Lime juice
1 teaspoon Cumin
Salt -- to taste
1 cup Cilantro -- chopped
6 Whole jalapeno peppers,
Fresh -- to taste
4 Whole habaneros peppers,
Fresh
Fill blender with tomatoes, run at lowest setting until no large chunks are left. Add remainder of ingredients and repeat running blender until no large chunks are left. Sample and add items to taste as necessary. If you're not sure how something will affect you in the quantity given, use the smallest unit of it at first, then progressively add more until you are satisfied. This is really important with the habaneros. The salsa will be at its hottest right after you make it, but will cool down the longer it sets.

Answer 2

I don't know their recipe, basically though it is Jalapeno peppers cut fine then ground finer.
It is the salsa verde at the La Nueva Mexicana restaurant in El Paso on Dyer street, right near the front gate to Ft Bliss. It is or was a real mexican Taqueria. The menu is all in spanish. They speak English there, but they will try Spanish first because it is after all their first language.

If you want to find something like that locally, relative to wherever you are look for the word Taqueria on the window or door, and use my Patented, trademarked (not!) Brother Jonah Taqueria Authenticity Checklist.

When you walk in you are greeted in Spanish
The default menu is in Spanish, if you ask for an English version and they don't have one, you have scored big!

When you say taco they hear Burrito.

The window might be cracked, but lovingly patched, and everything is clean.

The tablecloths might not match but see above
The dishes might not match but see above.

If they have stuff like Taco Rico, Taco Lengua, Tripas, Chile Mole on the menu, you are probably in the right place.

If you ask for salsa and they give you a condiment rack with tabasco or ketchup on it don't be discouraged, salsa means sauce in Spanish, and these are in fact sauces.

It would be like asking for Polish sausage in Poland or French bread in France.

If you ask for chile and they bring you a pepper... SCORE!

Salsa verde and they understand, and bring you the mostly peppers sauce SCORE!

Answer 3

I love mango salsa...2 or 3 large tomatoes, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1-2 teaspoons fresh cilantro chopped finely
1/2 mango diced (fresh or jarred)
You can put the first 4 ingredients in a food chopper until finely chopped, add mango, salt and peper to taste. A little brown sugar will sweeten the taste if desired.Yum!

Answer 4

I like all types of salsa but my all time favorite is fresh salsa it is easy and keeps well in the refrigerator. You will need tomatoes, jalepeno peppers, onion, celantro (if you like it) and lemon or lime juice. I like to dice everything medium fine and the peppers finely minced. I use 2 tomatoes to every jalepeno, put all cut ingredients into a bowl and stir add juice, salt, pepper, garlic (either fresh smashed or powder) to taste. If you like your salsa mild add more tomatoes. She would also add avocados to half of the mixture and have guacamole. I hope that I have been some help to you.

Answer 5

My favorite! Dip Coconut Shrimp in it...
FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA OLE

1 1/2 c. fresh pineapple, chopped
1/4 c. red onion, chopped
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2-1 tsp. (or to taste) jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp. fresh ginger, finely minced
1 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped

Mix all ingredients well in a glass bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Yield 1 3/4 cups. Per 2 tablespoon portions equal 12 calories, no cholesterol.
