BEST DAMN ROASTED SALSA



Best Damn Roasted Salsa image

The Best Damn Roasted Salsa is SUPER easy, quick, fresh and delicious with a lovely complex smoky flavor that can't be beat!

Provided by Kim Lee

Categories     Appetizer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds tomatoes, chopped (I used about 6 of varying sizes)
2 medium jalapeno peppers (leave the seeds in for an extra kick of spice)
1 small white onion
3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste as needed
2 tablespoons lime juice, about 1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Clean veggies and remove stems. Slice onion in half. Keep skin on garlic. Heat broiler on high, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, jalapenos, onion and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet that is covered with foil.
  • Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier, if it is browning too quickly).
  • Discard garlic skins and add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 3-4 times and until all ingredients are combined and chopped. Roasted salsa is more liquidy than regular salsa.
  • Taste the salsa and add more cumin and/or salt as desired.
  • Transfer to a bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips! Also, great served over eggs, tacos and more.
  • I prefer to refrigerate salsa for 1 day prior to serving to allow the flavors to marry and meld. Salsa will keep for about 1 week in an airtight container or jar in the fridge.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 small jalapeño peppers* ((leave the seeds in for an extra kick))
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro
6 tomatoes of varying sizes, chopped
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice ((about 1/2 lemon, juiced))

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. I like to add in the jalapeños, onion and garlic first and then the cilantro and tomatoes, so the tomatoes do not get too liquid-y. Pulse about 10 or so times and until all ingredients are combined and diced, but be sure to stop before the salsa becomes too watery. However, you can pulse longer if you do like your salsa with more liquid.
  • Taste the salsa and add more ingredients as desired. I would advise stirring in the extra ingredients, not pulsing in the food processor. The salsa will become too watery, quickly.
  • Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
  • I prefer to refrigerate salsa for 1 day prior to serving to allow the flavors to intensify. Salsa will keep for about 1 week in an airtight container or jar in the fridge; however, it's never lasted that long in this household.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

JAMES KIM'S SALSA



James Kim's Salsa image

This is a fresh, authentic salsa. When my friend Carol brought me a container of this salsa, I promptly threw away every other salsa recipe I had. Everytime I bring it somewhere it disappears completely. Make it the night before and it keeps for weeks in the frig. The heat is present, but not overwhelming and fades quickly.

Provided by Brenda Vander Zanden

Categories     Salsas

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

food processor
two-28 oz cans whole peeled tomatoes
3/4 bunch cilantro, fresh
2 clove garlic
1/2 large sweet onion
5 serrano chile peppers
2-3 tsp salt - depending on taste
2 tsp vinegar
2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 2C water to boil in microwave. Place serrano peppers in hot water for 30 seconds. Discard water. Cut away the stems of the peppers and discard.
  • 2. Drain whole peeled tomatoes. Pull Cilantro leaves off their stems and use only the leaves.
  • 3. Place all ingredients in the food processor. Mix together until liquified.
  • 4. Transfer to storage container and refrigerate overnight. The next day it's ready to eat.
  • 5. Heat can be controlled by removing seeds and membranes from peppers. Serranos can vary in heat, so I sometimes add 1 jalepeno pepper for good measure.

TUNA MAYO RICE BOWL



Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl image

This homey dish takes comforting canned tuna to richer, silkier heights. Mayonnaise helps to hold the tuna together and toasted sesame oil lends incomparable nuttiness. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste: Use as much or as little soy sauce as you'd like for a savory accent. You can lean into the nuttiness of this rice bowl by sowing the top with toasted sesame seeds, or amp up the savoriness with furikake or scallions. A staple of home cooking in Hawaii and South Korea (where it is sometimes called deopbap), this simple meal is a workday workhorse.
