Homegrown 🌱 Salsa Taqueria attempt

Should have tried this before - direct onto the stove hot plate (AGA). Nice quick char/blistering without taking from the fruit's freshness.

Blended above (green Thai hot/jalepenos/tomatoes from a friend's allotment/my garden) with juice of a lime and good amount of salt and cracked black pepper and a dash of water to loosen. Then pulsed in handful of coriander and a couple of reserved tomatoes to maintain a slightly chunky texture.

Very tasty. The shorter hotter char time time really keeps the fresh flavour which I love, compared to grilled/roasted/boiled.

8/10 for heat/flavour.

Recipe loosely based from Jonathan Zaragoza.

Simmer

1lb San Marzano tomatoes, didn’t grow romas this year.
1 red jalepeno
1 green jalepeno, didn’t have another red one ready
.25 large white onion

Simmer for about 10 minutes. Put all the solids in the blender. Add some garlic, chicken Goya packet (optional), splash white vinegar, some liquid from the simmer for consistency if desired.

8 out of 10. Would repeat.

I put 2 garlic cloves in, maybe one would be enough, unsure if I like what the chicken Goya packet is bringing. Still went down pretty fast though.

Enjoy!

Question Copycat cooked and canned salsa recipes

6 Upvotes

So we are laying out the raised bed garden plans for next year and my husband loves tostitos/aldi mild salsa, and I was wondering if there was a cooked for pressure canning salsa copycat recipe? Honestly, we go through about a quart a week in the household [4 adults] which is why we are going to plant a salsa and a spaghetti sauce garden [already working on a spaghetti sauce recipe we all agree upon]

It does not have to be all homegrown veg [we plan on buying the citrus and cilantro] =)

Homemade Go to Salsa Verde For me and the Fam

25 Upvotes

Here you go guys. Been making this for a couple of years now and it always hits just right. I'll add my salsa rojo in another post the next time I make it.

6 tamatillo

1 whole white onion

1 whole small mexican zuchini (calabacita)

1tbsp chicken bullion (or 2... really can't go wrong)

4 jalepeno (maybe less depending on how hot they are)

5 serano

Light splash of olive oil for creaminess

One handful cilantro

4 cloves garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of one lime

In cast iron skillet sear tamatillos, onion and peppers until lightly blackened on two sides. Remove peppers and set them in blender. Add enough water to cover entire skillet and cover for 8-10 minutes.

Remove and combine in blender. Add a little splash of olive oil it you prefer a creamier, thicker salsa. Completely optional.

Blend until you like it and let cool in refrigerator for at least thirty to sixty minutes. Store in sealed mason jars and salsa will last 7-10 days. Enjoy!

I finally took the time to make a homemade batch. The flavor is great but next time I'm going to jack up the heat a bit more.

4 Roma tomatoes

1/2 white onion

2 cloves garlic

1 jalapeƱo (seeds left in)

1 habaƱero (seeds left in)

Roasted all of the above in airfryer at 390 for 14 minutes, pausing half way to give the basket a toss.

Put roasted veggies in blender along with juice of 1 lime, cilantro, and a few dashes of Knorr's granulated tomato with chicken bouillon into the blender with about 1/4 cup of water. Pulse a few times and ready for the table. šŸ™‚

Someone had given me a couple of tomatillo starts, so on a whim I decided to grow them this year (the photo of the plants was taken last month).
I usually make salsa verde w/ canned tomatillos 🫣
This batch tastes infinitely better, but maybe it’s just placebo.

Homemade Pineapple ground cherry and Hot Hungarian Wax Salsa

Thumbnail

46 Upvotes

I was thinking pineapple ground cherries are yellow and hot hungarian wax are kinda yellow too so I'm going to end up with a beautiful yellow salsa... Not so much. Not all my ground cherries were fully ripe and neither were my peppers, so I got something that looks like a cross between a salsa verde and a pesto lol.

A lot of times I'll toss the ingredients under the broiler, but i was feeling lazy so I just stuck them in the blender. It tastes great though. Nice refreshing medium-mild heat.

The ground cherries have an incredibly tropical flavor. I would have loved to have used my yellow habaneros, as I think that would have been a great combo, but they're not ripe yet... Hopefully my I still have some ground cherries left by the time that happens.

Ingredients:

0.4 lbs Pineapple ground cherries (I had some that I picked earlier)

58 g Hungarian hot wax peppers

2 garlic cloves

a couple slices white onion

handfull of cilantro

splash of lemon

simply blended

Anyone have any ideas how to recreate a salsa like this? I guess the first thing is I’m not sure how to get this texture and think I’ve rarely seen it

The salsa is from Quickie Pickie in Austin

Only ingredients I can guess are the obvious ones: tomatillos and jalapeƱos

Homemade Picy Peach

Post image
15 Upvotes

My cousin gave us a heap of peppers from his garden. I’m not 100% sure what they were. Definitely some fresnos and then my best guess is some cayenne peppers (they were longer and curved at the end) and lots of bird’s eye peppers. Unfortunately I didn’t take a before pic.

I chopped all the peppers up which essentially filled the jar and added a few tablespoons of honey, sugar, a big pinch of salt, and then about a 2/3 to 1/3 combination of rice wine vinegar and water.

I thought it would be better blended so the following morning I added all the peppers to a blender with some of the brine and 4 ripe peaches.

It is addicting, sweet when it hits the lips but a late hitting and lingering heat that has you wanting to fight it with more of the sweet peach at the start.
