Simple to make, delicious salsa. Has been very popular everywhere I have served it. You can use fresh tomatoes if you have a garden or farmers market you use, other than that, the best consistency is with canned. Ingredients:
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans premium diced tomatoes |
1 serrano chili |
1 jalapeno |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/3 medium lemon, juice of |
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
2 teaspoons kosher salt or 2 teaspoons sea salt |
1/2 large sweet onions or 1/2 large red onion |
1 bunch fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Open cans of tomatoes and drain most of the liquid.
2. Put tomatoes in food processor or large blender.
3. Add salt, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, pepper flakes.
4. Cut stem off Serrano and add to ingredients in processor/blender.
5. Rough chop the peeled onion and add to processor/blender.
6. Cut off stem of Jalapeno and cut in half.
7. Using spoon, scrape out seeds and white membrane.
8. Discard seeds and membrane. DO NOT rub your eyes after this step!
9. Add two halves of Jalapeno to processor/blender.
10. Cut off most of the stems from a bunch of fresh cilantro and put bunch in processor/blender.
11. Process or blend to desired consistency. We like ours blended relatively smooth.
12. You can adjust the heat up by either adding the Jalapeno without removing seeds and membrane or tossing in another small Serrano. Keep in mind Serrano's are up a bit on the heat scale from Jalapenos, but have incredible flavor.
