My Homemade Hot Salsa Food

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

FRESH HOMEMADE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, red onion, yellow onion, green chilies, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor. Pulse processor until mixture is combined, yet remains chunky. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

CAUTION: EXTREMELY HOT! SALSA

Steps:

• Put peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin in a food processor, and process until finely minced, but not a paste.
• Or, if you're mincing the peppers by hand-be SURE to wear rubber gloves, as the oil from the peppers is very irritating to skin and eyes.
• Add seasonings, vinegar, olive oil and water and mix well.
• Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid (I use the larger size of baby food jars).
• Stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
• Serve on chips, eggs, grilled chicken, in burritos, on tacos, mixed into rice or beans, anything you can think of!

VERY HOT SALSA

Steps:

• Grind all the tomatoes,peppers,chili, onion, garlic through a meat grinder.
• Do not take out the seeds. add salt and vinegar. Cook outside (on a grill or the like) in a thick bottom stainless pot for as long as it take to reduce by half. about 2 hours. After the consistency is what you would like, add other spices. Continue to cook 10 minutes. At this point I run it inside and can it in half pints and save it for the winter.
• You should be wearing long sleeves and gloves every time you go near this salsa, and when you wash the dishes in cold water.
• Do not cook inside!

EASY COOKED SALSA

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil and add the jalapenos, sweet peppers, garlic and onion.
• Sauté until everything is soft but not browned.
• Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are quite soft and starting to pack down in the pot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and cook for about 10 minutes more to give the flavours a chance to mix together and the water to boil off.
• When the salsa is as thick as you like it, add salt to taste if needed and let stand for at least one minute.
• Stir well before serving.

SALSA ROJA

Steps:

• Combine 1 large white onion, halved, 4 medium plum tomatoes (about 12 oz.), halved, 1-2 serrano chiles, 4 garlic cloves, and 3 oz. dried ancho, guajillo, and/or pasilla chiles, stems and seeds removed, in a medium saucepan, using fresh vegetables to weigh down dried chiles. Pour in water just to cover. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let sit until dried chiles are rehydrated and fresh vegetables are softened, 20-25 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender; reserve soaking liquid. Add ½ bunch cilantro, tough stems trimmed, coarsely chopped, juice of 1 lime, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, ½ tsp. ground cumin, ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon, and 1 cup reserved soaking liquid. Blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Taste salsa and add more salt if needed.
