FRESH SALSA

By cwyorkiex3

Made fresh with tomatoes, or sweet with mangos, my recipes for fresh salsa are outstanding. When you have so many tomatoes from your garden that you don't know what to do with, I have a solution for you. Make salsa.

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe tomatoes
• 2 green bell peppers
• 1 white onion
• 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 TBS fresh lime juice
• 1 jalapeno pepper, more if you like it
• VERY HOT
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut off the tops of the green peppers and remove seeds. Cut off the tops of the jalapenos but do not remove seeds. Cut the outer skin off the onion and cut in four sections.

Place these items in a food processor and run until everything is small. I usually do not leave big chunks of the jalapeno as small chopped bits blend better and give flavor throughout the salsa.

Wash the tomatoes and cut off the tops and cut them in half our fourths and put them in the food processor with the garlic clove on top of the already chopped up peppers and onions.

Process these until the tomatoes are well chopped. Open the food process and remove the container and put a strainer in your sink and pour the mixture from the processor into the strainer and let strain all the excess liquid from the tomatoes.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and chill.
