I made salsa this week! My first attempt. Better than store-bought, though it couldn't be as tasty as those who grill their own tomatoes and such. It is my compromise. I got the recipe from Larna Humble; the Humbles are family friends of ours that we have been able to know over the years as they have done the music at HILLTOP camp. They've also been kind enough to be our cross-county 'bed and breakfast' on several occasions. We stayed with them recently and I left with some good recipes and some fun hospitality tips.
Yum, this is called "Larna's Salsa"
1 bunch green onions, cut up coarsely
1/8 to 1/4 purple onion, sliced in thick pieces
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes (use fresh in summer)
1 (10 oz) can Rotel (Mexican w/cilantro & lime juice)
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3/4 to 1 teaspoon cumin (she prefers 3/4 tsp.)
1 teaspoon cilantro, dried or 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder (she prefers fresh)
1 1/2 to 2 jalapeno peppers, fresh, seeded, and coarsely chopped
2-3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice (no substitutes)
Mix all ingredients together, in a food processor, with onions, garlic, and peppers on the bottom and add Rotel last. Pulse for 30 seconds, or until desired consistency.
