I'm a salsa junkie! I use salsa on a lot of my foods. And not the store bought garbage. I either make myself or I have a friend that makes a great salsa. I have used it on eggs, salmon, pork, chicken, in rice and on salads.

I'm looking for any new recipes or ideas to use or that include salsa.

Thanks and feel free to add me if you like, can always use and willing to help motivate!

    2 and1/2 tomatoes cut into 4 quarters

    1 large jalapeno cut into quarters

    1 small onion cut in 5-6 big pieces

    3 cloves garlic cut in half

    1-2 Thai green chillies if you want it hot

    ½ cup cilantro/coriander

    Juice of ½ a lime/lemon

    Pinch of salt

    Sauté all the above ingredients except for the cilantro and lemon juice in a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet and let them get a little charred and blackish-looking. Let it cool. Then put it in a blender along with the cilantro and lemon juice and blend until smooth or chunky depending on preference. After this, I like to refrigerate it as I like the flavours to feel hot and cold on my tongue.

    This is a low-fat salsa that I make all of the time - you can use fewer chillies if you wish...I often use just 1 if they are a bit hotter, or you can use chilli flakes :-)

    INGREDIENTS:
    250g/9oz fresh tomatoes, finely chopped
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    3 mild chillies, finely chopped
    bunch coriander, finely chopped
    salt, to taste
    lime juice, to taste
    1 tbsp water

    PREPARATION:
    To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and serve.

    Enjoy! :-) x
