Even though none of the proper ingredients were available at the greenmarket, I was inspired by the other beautiful vegetables at the market and decided to stop by the grocery to pick up some tomatoes, peppers and onions to make salsa. I’ve made it before, sometimes it turns out good, other times it turns into a bit of disaster, like the time I put a few too many hot peppers in it and it nearly burned our tongues off. This time I took it a safer route and took it easy on the peppers. The result wasn’t perfect, but still tasty. I like smooth salsa, so I made sure it had a nice texture with a garlicy flavor and a little bit of spice from a jalepeño. I think once summer gets into full swing, I’m going to experiment a bit more by adding fruit or other flavors.

Salsa
4 tomatoes
2 cipolli onions
1 jalepeño
1 anaheim pepper
2 cloves of garlic
1 lime

1
Place tomatoes in sauce pan and pour just enough water over tomatoes to cover and simmer, about 5 minutes.
2
Once the skin has broken, remove from heat and let cool.
3
Roughly chop all the other ingredients and toss in food processor.
4
Once the tomatoes have cooled, remove core and toss in food processor.
5
Chop in processor until desired smoothness. Store in refrigerator overnight, I think it helps the flavors meld if you let it sit awhile.

Eat up!
