This is a recipe I made up because I really wanted some salsa and tortillas; however, I was out of salsa. Tomato and celery along with some other ingredients are sauteed in oil and then simmered in tomato juice. It's a quick fix when you have no salsa. Warm tortilla chips go well with this salsa. Just pop some chips in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes until lightly browned. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 clove garlic, diced |
1 medium tomato, diced |
1 stalk celery, diced |
1 small onion, diced |
3/4 cup tomato juice |
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, or as needed |
salt to taste |
ground black pepper to taste |
hot pepper sauce to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, tomato, celery, and onion, and cook about 3 minutes, until heated through. Pour in tomato juice, bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until onions and celery are tender.
2. Stir flour into the salsa to thicken. Continue cooking to desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
