evan9381 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 need some ideas. grew some tomatoes this year, and I want to use most of them for salsa. I've also still got some jalapenos from the garden I can use. I want something with a fresh taste, not too hot, good with chips or cooked into some scrambled eggs or omelettes. what do you suggest? also, i plan to can most of it to enjoy for a while.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 tomatoes, jalapenos, red onion, cilantro, garlic, fresh squeezed lime juice. chop and throw that shit in a food processor. don't fuck it up by getting fancy. that is literally all you need for a perfect fresh summer salsa edit: salt and pepper to taste.

KillJoy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 If you THINK you need 1 tomato.... you need 5! That is all! KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Are you supposed to gut the tomatos and just use the outer portion of it for salsa? Last time i tried using the whole tomato it turned out really watery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just made some last night. Garden tomatoes - 4 or 5 medium 1/2 a small sweet onion Large jalapeno (or 2 normal ones) lots of cilantro (fresh!!!!) good bit of lime juice ~1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic (I'd go more, but family not big into garlic) few pinches of sea salt black pepper Nothing was really measured, just thrown in the processor. I'm taking some of it tonight and adding one or more super hots to it, just for my tastes. I'm a huge fan of fresh cilantro and lime in salsas. The lime juice will also help keep things fresh longer.

Tractor Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I usually just buy Kroger medium and add franks extra hot until satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
