This is a different twist on salsa. Great for parties- I always get compliments because of the celery since you don't think of salsa to have celery. Easy recipe, fresh ingredients, and low in cost. This is my first recipe I tried with this salsa and it is easy to make variations. Ingredients:
1 chopped green pepper |
2 chopped celery ribs |
1 chopped white onion |
3 finely chopped garlic cloves |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes |
2 ounces tomato paste (use for thicker sauce) (optional) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt, to taste |
pepper, to taste |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Heat pan with olive oil and sauté onion, pepper, and celery about 5 minutes to soften. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
2. Add chopped garlic. Sauté another 2-3 minute
3. Add oregano, basil, and cayenne pepper.
4. Transfer mixture to a pot and add canned tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add about 1/2 can of water. Add tomato paste until desired consistency.
5. Add remaining spices and boil 1-2 minute Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Refrigerate overnight or at least 6-8 hours and serve when cooled.
