Salsa Of The Table Food

TABLE SALSA

Steps:

• In a small pot, bring the broth to a boil. Meanwhile, in a heavy skillet over medium heat, toast all the chilies, turning, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the oil and garlic and fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chilies, oil and garlic to the broth, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Strain.
• Place 1/2 cup of the liquid and the garlic in a blender or food processor. When the chilies are cool, chop each into 4 pieces, add to the blender and puree. Gradually add the rest of the liquid and the salt. Adjust seasoning. Can be refrigerated for up to a week.

HOMEMADE SALSA

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to your food processor fitted with a standard blade. Process until the tomatoes are broken down and everything is well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Transfer to a bowl or container and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. (The flavors will meld together and taste even better after at least 30 minutes of refrigeration.)
• The salsa will keep in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE TABLE SALSA

Steps:

• In medium saucepan add onion, tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color (about 10 minutes). While these are boiling, add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel. Let cool completely. When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely. Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
• Notes - I use 12 chile pequins and 10 chiltepins but I like my salsa pretty hot. Sometimes I will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
• If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion, dice and stir in at the end.

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.

• Combine the tomatoes, chiles, olives, scallions, vegetable oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl and chill at least 2 hours. Serve with tortilla chips.

• The Cilantro is very important to this dish.

SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, tomatillo, and salt to taste. Mix well. Add 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, and taste. If you desire your salsa with more of a kick, add the remaining 1/2 jalapeno. If you are satisfied with the salsa's heat, do not add the remaining jalapeno pepper. Cover the salsa, and chill until ready to serve.

SALSA NINETY NINE (MILD)

Steps:

• Core and peel the tomatoes. Remove the tomato seeds and pulp. Put seeds and pulp through a food mill. Chop the outsides of the tomatoes
• In a large pot over low heat, boil the milled liquid and tomato paste for 1 hour, or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3.
• In a blender or food processor, puree cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and 1/2 cup of the tomato liquid from the large pot. Slowly stir this mixture into the pot.
• Bring the contents of the pot to a boil while mixing in the green peppers, onions, chopped tomatoes, salt, vinegar and brown sugar. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot. Stirring continually, boil the mixture until all the vegetable are soft -- about 30 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, and place it in sterile containers.
