Salsa recipes
I know a lot of you guys are probably into this. I'm not a big salsa guy, and I've never made my own. But I am absolutely in love with the salsa at the mexican restaurant just south of NuSkin on University Ave in Provo. Los dos amigos? Something like that.
The salsa is kinda runny not thick, but has thick pieces of stewed tomato and has maybe some onion and green pepper but not much else. It needs a little salt but it is heaven for me right now. Anyone know this place or might have a recipe that sounds like this? |

That's the kind of salsa I prefer - more liquid with chunks of tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc.
I'd like to know where good stuff as well. Perhaps a Mexican market? There's got to be one in the Provo/Orem area.

I've been to Los 3 Amigos. I don't remember it being that great, but it's been a few years.
There's a previous thread on Salsa that has some recipes you might like. Farah has a really good Salsa Verde recipe. I've used it a couple of times and really like it. http://cougarguard.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4635 |

I like my salsa coming out of the big plastic jugs you get at Costco, with preservatives. Not the fancy crunchy watery stuff that runs out or goes bad fast. Salsa is my ketchup.

I did make some last night. pint of stewed tomatoes yellow onion three large jalapenos 6 or 7 cloves or garlic two tsp vinegar I blended the onions/jalapenos/garlic but did it too much till they were almost puree. Put the tomotoes in and tried to blend just a little but again went too far and the salsa ended up looking almost like a thick vegetable drink. Added a lot of salt and pepper, and it actually came out pretty delicious. It ended up very spicy and very garlicky but I love garlic. |

I use whole canned tomatoes, usually two of the big cans from the grocery store. A bunch of cilantro. I use green onions instead of a yellow onion because I don't like the crunch, texture thing really for me. This I chop and it usually comes out to about 1/2-3/4 cup. 2-3 jalapenos depending on how hot I want it. This usually is very mild. 1-2 limes squeezed to taste. Tablespoon of minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste. All of this goes in a food processor and I just pulse it a few times which is all it takes. Just play with the ingredients to your desired taste. I like lime and cilantro so I am a bit heavy on those ingredients.

I was telling my wife about this thread and she wanted to know if there is anything specific that needs to be done as far as bottling salsa or putting it into Jars.
Does anyone have experience with this? Farrah, I think she'd trust you the most.... No offense guys.
