THE ULTIMATE SALSA FRESCA



The Ultimate Salsa Fresca image

Salsa fresca is a generic term for any salsa that isn't cooked. There's no right or wrong way to do it - everyone does their own thing. This recipe is my take on what my mom used to make, but I think it's exceptional. (Pat on back, LOL!) Measurements are loose, but the key is the olive oil and mexican oregano. Prep time includes 15 minutes of standing time.

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb red ripe tomato, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano, rubbed between your palms to crush
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 -3 serrano chilies, minced (to taste, these are hot!)

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl, combine first six ingredients.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the minced serrano chiles, a little at a time, tasting for "heat" until you reach the level you can stand.
  • Let stand for fifteen minutes to let the flavors meld. A small squeeze of lime juice is also good.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. Will NOT keep overnight.
  • NOTE: this is such a versatile salsa. Try it in scrambled eggs, then rolled in a flour tortilla (breakfast burrito). Yum!

SALSA FRESCA



Salsa Fresca image

This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dips and spreads, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 small white or red onion, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pound fresh, ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1 to 3 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, minced (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, more to taste
1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heirloom tomatoes, small dice
1 jalapeño, minced (ribs and seeds removed if you'd like less heat)
1 small red onion, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 swordfish steaks, skin and bloodline removed

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, cilantro and lime juice to a bowl and mix to combine. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour for all the flavors to come together.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Drizzle the swordfish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move to the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook until cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill to rest, about 5 minutes. Serve the swordfish with the salsa spooned over the top.

EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)



Ex-Girlfriend's Mom's Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo) image

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

FOOD WORKS SALSA FRESCA



Food Works Salsa Fresca image

Salsa from a jar is fine, but once you've tried super fresh and zingy salsa fresca (fresca means fresh!), you'll never go back! This salsa uses a giant can of diced tomatoes, but fresh work great too. You can use any size can (except tomato sauce or paste), and just chop tomatoes finer with scissors or in a food processor. SAFETY TIP: Jalapenos burn the eyes if you rub the oil from the seeds on your face. Wash your hands and tools VERY well after cutting jalapenos, and wear rubber gloves if you have any.

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
1 limes, juice of or 1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Dice up all veggies quite finely with a chopping knife, or in a food processor.
  • Open the can of tomatoes and empty into a large bowl. Use scissors or a food processor to chop up any large chunks.
