Amazing Salsa, All Goodness, No Joke

I know, you may think what would an Asian know about making salsa? I got the basic recipe from one of my good friends for over 10 years, since I made it the first time, I was hooked. I made so many different versions of it.

Today I made a mild yet super flavorful version, even my kids love it.

Ingredients:

3 large tomatillos, roughly chopped

2 medium size tomatoes, roughly chopped

1 jalapeno, roughly chopped, seeds and all

1 yellow onion, roughly sliced

juice from 1 lime

large handful of cilantro leaves

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a medium sauce pan, heat up 1 tbsp cooking oil on medium high heat. Go in with first 4 ingredients and stir for about 10 minutes. Vegetables will soften and release juices. Reduce heat to medium so the vegetables would not burn. Kill the heat once all vegetables are softened, and let cool for 10 minutes.

Add cooked vegetables and remaining ingredients into a blender. I used a bullet blender, I don’t like wasting a lot of the precious delicious goodness on the side of the cup after making it. Yep, I may be a bit weird like that.

Lid on and pulse 20 times, it would be one cup of golden scrumptious salsa! Use with chips, spread on your tacos. I promise you, this will beat majority of the restaurant salsa!

You can adjust the spiciness by adding more jalapeno peppers, or use serrano peppers, or even habanarro peppers (I call this one my “suicidal salsa”. I swear, one time this suicidal salsa made one of my friends hiccup until his face turned bright red and we thought he was going to stop breathing :p).

Keep this recipe handy, it would be a huge hit for any party!
