I want to talk about homemade salsa....

[Wheres the beef?]

4 tomatoes
1/2 white onion
1/2 red onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 clove roasted garlic
2 jalapeno peppers (roasted optional)
2 limes (squeezed)
2 shallots
1 sweet pepper


this is my fourth attempt at homemade salsa and I think this one is the best yet.

[mistdevil]

no cilantro?

[disgustipated]

why use shallots when you have the onion?




or vice versa.

[algunz]

salt and pepper

and that seems like a lot of onion?

[ficklecycle]

How much of it is it?

[DeltaSigChi4]

Guacamole > salsa

E

[Wheres the beef?]

No its not alot of onion, the shallots add a different flavor than the onion its more subtle imo.

No cilantro because the GF doesnt like it.

[algunz]

Maybe Kings has got some monster tomatoes.

that sucks cilantro owns!

[All That I Am]

WTF NO CILANTRO!
That's like making spaghetti for someone who doesn't like tomatoes, fuck'em, they gotta try something different.

[algunz]

I really don't like cilantro either. For me it's an oxymoron, it tastes like air, but it overwhelms whatever dish it goes in.

I know I'm not a very good Mexican.

[Wheres the beef?]

Hey! Hey! Hey! You are preaching to choir here. I love cilantro. But I couldn't do that to her. I would never hear the end of it.

[Wheres the beef?]

is that really necessary?

[fatbastard]

It's a form of salsa.

It's genetic whether or not you like cilantro. To some it tastes like soap. Those poor, unfortunate souls.

[Hannahrain]

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do.

That is why you are my favorite.

Make some salsa for the party tomorrow. You can carry it in a tupperware to Beastie Boys and bring it as a midnight snack.

[captncrzy]

I don't have a recipe...I just make mine to taste. But, always go easy on the onion, always have cilantro, and always roast fresh jalopenos, and always use roma tomatoes.

[Wheres the beef?]

I like the flavor you get when you roast the peppers.

Perhaps.

The recipe I posted isn't 100% the recipe I use all the time. I know what I posted would turn out, well, though. Some things just have to stay within the family, y'know?

[disgustipated]

roast everything...

onions, tomatoes, and peppers.



mmmmm so good.

[dorkfish]

I wish I could remember the name of this Mexican restaurant in San Diego. By far, the worst Mexican food I've had in my life.

[disgustipated]

lots of those here.

Thats weird, my girlfriend hates cilantro too.

Which does everyone prefer? Chunky Sala? Or umm... non-chunky salsa?

I also only use roma tomatoes. Regarding cilantro, I pluck the leaves and use the leaves only. No stems.
