So.... It was my birthday a few days ago and my wonderful husband got me a Ninja Chopper. I've needed a reason to use it and so I decided to make salsa. Yay.... GREAT decision. I love my chopper.... AND my salsas! I've made 2 different types of salsa, at the same time, so there will be many similarities between the two salsas I'm listing today.
Salsa #1 ~
Regular Bomb Salsa:
1/2 C strong beef stock
2 1/2 beefsteak tomatoes
6 Roma tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion
2 green bell peppers
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded or de-seeded is up to you)
3 tsp minced garlic
4 oz can of green chilies
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
S & P
1/2 tsp cumin
6 drops of liquid smoke
1 drop of "Afterdeath" hot sauce
Directions:
Blend or chop all ingredients to your desired chunkiness and blend all together. Jar or can & let sit for at least an hour before serving to let flavors settle. Yum! (Made 2 large mason jars full.)
Salsa #2 ~
Regular Bomb Salsa:
1/2 C strong beef stock
2 1/2 beefsteak tomatoes
6 Roma tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion
1 lg can of black beans - drained & rinsed
1 15 oz can of white corn - drained
1 15 oz can of yellow corn - drained
2 green bell peppers
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded or de-seeded is up to you)
3 tsp minced garlic
4 oz can of green chilies
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
1/2 bunch of fresh parsley
1/2 bunch of fresh basil
Juice of 1 lime
S & P
6 drops of liquid smoke
Directions:
Blend or chop all ingredients to your desired chunkiness and blend all together. Jar or can & let sit for at least an hour before serving to let flavors settle. Yum! (Made 3 large mason jars full)
Both of my salsa's came out a bit more blended than I had wanted and a bit more watery, but I think it's due to a new chopper that I'm not 100% sure I used correctly. However - the flavors are wonderful of each salsa.... My husband blended the 2 together and ate tons of it. We even had enough to share with friends. {Posted a picture... not the best, but you get the idea.}
Of course there's many, many different recipes for salsa and the fun part is that you can do it however you like.... but here's what I did. And it was yummy!!
Hope you make your own - and enjoy it!
