Pico de gallo chunky salsa |
|
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 03:24 PM by bearfan454
5 jalapenos 3 large tomatoes 1 red onion 2 garlic cloves 1/4 bunch of cilantro salt to taste
Dice up the jalapenos. I usually stand them upright and just filet the sides to avoid the seeds. Leave the seeds if you want it hotter. Dice the rest of the ingredients but dice the garlic very small. Only use the leaves from the cilantro. Mix everything together in a bowl and add salt to taste. As with any recipe you can add more or less of whatever ingredients you like better or worse. I've been making this for years and it is really easy. It's good on tacos, fajitas, chips, tostadas or anything else you like spicy.

2. I add lemon juice - just a dash; pepper and a couple of anchos. |

We're not big on the jalapeno flavor as a pepper. Many times, I'll do a single habenero and a bunch of anchos or anaheims. I add cumin to mine, but everyone knows I'm nuts.

3. lime juice is good in this |
|
I usually use plum tomatoes and seed them so we do't have as much juice from the tomatoes. A little lime juice is really tasty in this.

I'd substitute 1 or 2 Habanero for all those Jalepenoes and still have a hot salsa.
And I regularly add either diced cactus leaves or diced cucumber.
SO has a sweet tooth so I also sometimes add a dash of cinnamon, which plays nicely with the pepper.
