There's nothing new here just CG's tried and true multi-purpose salsa recipe. It's quick, cheap and resourceful using up leftovers from the refrigerator and pantry. The reason I use grapefruit juice is because grapefruit is my favorite fruit and I always have it on hand. This is the salsa I use when a particular recipe calls for '1 cup salsa', for example. Note: Use a surplus of tomatoes but not old tomatoes. Substitute the canned variety if your toms are beyond salvaging. Ingredients:
4 -5 small tomatoes, chopped or 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 jalapeno, chopped* (i don't bother seeding or de-veining) |
3 -4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice (or 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lime juice) |
1 -2 bell pepper, seeded and membrane removed, chopped (red, orange, yellow) |
1/2 red onion, chopped |
2 -3 green onions |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until almost smooth or to desired consistency.
2. *For a less spicy version, substitute milder anaheim or poblano chile.
3. Yield is estimated.
