Since moving to the south,
finding a good salsa has been an issue. Every restaurant here serves the
same “out of the jar” stuff they CALL salsa. It is NOT salsa. So…I made
my own. Again…I found a recipe that sounded good-ish then modified it.
My family loves it and we go through tons of it. This recipe makes quite
a bit so if you don’t “drink” it like we do, you can make the batch
then freeze part of it for later. It’s got a smoky kick to it and is not
HOT…but is very flavorful. I really hope you think it’s as tasty as we
do.
"It's Because People Like
to Say Saaalza" Salsa
4 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes (If you can find Hunt’s Fire Roasted USE THEM!!)
1 12-ounce can whole jalapeños…tops cut off, sliced and seeded
1 medium onion – rough chopped
2 – 3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke
2 tablespoons dried cilantro
2 teaspoons salt
In a food processor, put the jalapenos, onion, garlic, vinegar, Liquid Smoke, cilantro, salt and two cans of the tomatoes.
Pulse until all ingredients are well chopped and blended. Pour into a large bowl.
Place remaining two cans of tomatoes in food processor and pulse them until well chopped then add them to the bowl with the first batch.
Mix well with a large spoon.
You can eat it right away but it’s better if it sits overnight in the fridge.
Now...the reason I mix it in two parts is because my food processor will not hold everything. If you have a large food processor then you are in luck, my friend!!
Here's the beginning of a very tasty salsa
All made and ready for dippin'!!
And because I have the most
awesome husband ever who
made me these cute labels,
here is the salsa in a give-away jar!
