THE SAUCY SENORITAS' SALSA



The Saucy Senoritas' Salsa image

The name alone has you wanting some, doesn't it? The contributors are: Boomette (France) - I suggest adding jalapeno cause I can be spicy sometimes (and HOT!) Evelyn/Athens - I suggest adding mango because I love the tart/sweet element it would add - and that's me basically...ask my students. TheGrumpyChef - I suggest onion, 'cause sometimes I cry for no good reason at all! Galley Wench - I'll add cumin, for "Spicy" Bellinda - You either hate us or love us ('us' being me and garlic) Sue L - cilantro - because when I shower, I always come out fresh and even have a hint of soapiness Slatts - I would like to add a red bell pepper to our salsa because the color reminds me of love and caring. Virginia Cherry Blossom - I am most like lime juice because I have a sweet smell (nice) but I have a tarty taste (honest) - I bring out the best in people and salsa Breezermom - tomato, because I make everything more colorful and bright! Queen Dana - I'm like olive oil because I'm silky and full of good fat.

1 mango, peeled, seeded and diced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss with your very clean fingers to distribute everything. Looks and smells delicious, right? You can't wait to have some RIGHT NOW? Hold on a little bit longer: to blend the flavors, refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with your favourite grilled meat/fish/seafood or with tortilla 'dippers' for a healthier, flavour-to-the-max alternative to what you're used to.

TAQUERIA GREEN SALSA (SALSA VERDE)



Taqueria Green Salsa (Salsa Verde) image

This is not like the tex mex green salsa you encounter at big chains that contain avacados or tomatillos. This is a more of a taqueria style sauce that you find in local mexican meat markets. I liked the sauce so much that I asked the waitress at a taqueria if she knew how to make it and she asked a person in the back and was fortunate enough to get an answer. It is VERY spicy.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb jalapenos or 10 jalapenos
5 -6 fresh garlic cloves, peeled
1 knorr chicken bouillon cube
1 cup water
1/4 cup oil
salt

Steps:

  • Cut the stems off the jalapenos and throw them in a small pot.
  • Remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy.
  • Add peeled garlic.
  • Add a small amount a water, about 1/4 cup or a little more to get a steam effect.
  • Place on stove at a low medium heat to get it steaming for about 15 minute.
  • Add contents to a blender and add oil and blend until smooth.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • You may need to adjust salt, water, and chicken cubes to suit the taste because jalapenos are not all uniform in taste depending on the season.
  • I used olive oil but I doubt a mexican restaurant uses olive oil.

Although I refused to eat it until about a week ago (it was green and well it creeped me out) I have now seen the light. This stuff is amazing! I love it! The cilantro is just so awesome. So naturally I had to find a recipe and try it out! :) I found this recipe on the Dabble posted by someone named Annie and it is pretty darn close! :) Cook time is chill time.
