Share Your Salsa Recipe!

[Esther Sparhawk]

As the end of October approaches, my garden is finally full of those long-awaited tomatoes. Time to make salsa! Let's share our salsa recipes, shall we? 

 

 

Ingredients:

4-5 mangoes (firm, not quite ripe)

4 Serrano peppers (more or less depending on how spicy you want it

1 Jalapeno

10 cloves of garlic

6-7 firm avocados

10 firm roma tomatoes 

1 cup chopped cilantro 

2 limes squeezed throughout

1 tsp of olive oil

1/2 of a red onion

Dash of salt

 

Chop mangoes up first in medium sized chunks, then add the diced red onion and squeeze half a lime over it. Let this marinate for an hour.  Dice the tomatoes, add chopped cilantro/peppers/garlic to the tomatoes.  Squeeze half of lime over and let marinate for an hour as well.  Halve the avocados right before you are ready to serve it, and cut them up in cubes.  Pour the olive oil and squeeze a half of lime over avocados before adding the other two bowls.  Finally combine three bowls, lightly mix it all together and squeeze another half of lime over entire dish. Lastly add salt as needed.

I'm sure everyone knows this already but it's my favourite so I'll post it anyway, 

Tomatoes ( I always use the big ones but it is just personal taste.)

Red onion

Coriander

Salt

Pepper

Lime Juice

 

Basically cut up the tomatoes into small pieces and then dice the onion and chop coriander. Mix them in a bowl with the other ingredients and a bit of olive oil. Sometimes I use lemon juice instead of lime or add a bit of crushed garlic. 

No real quantities of each it depends on personal taste, I always add loads of coriander but that might not be to everyones taste. 

Also it can be fairly watery but if you don't use the tomato pulp it is a bit "drier"
