Okay, I promised I wouldn't only post Paula Deen recipes (and I swear I won't), but this was sort of an impromptu Superbowl Salsa. Matt convinced me to ditch the conventional jarred salsa and try my hand at making homemade salsa. I will admit that I should have asked my friend, Dena, for her recipe . . . but like I said, it was sort of last minute. Maybe I'll try hers (if she'd be kind enough to share it with me!) at a later date and post it.
Anyhoo - for those of you who don't like a super-hot salsa this is a perfect recipe. For those of you who do like it hot; Matt and Cameron added some hot sauce in their bowls and really enjoyed it! Or, throw in an extra jalepeno or two. Again, I tweaked the recipe a little (because Matt forgot the red wine vinegar and we love cilantro which isn't in the original) but the original can be found on www.foodnetwork.com. Search Paula Deen's Homemade Salsa.
This is also a really easy recipe to throw together, and I'm sure if you chilled for a couple of hours, the flavors would really meld together even more.
Gather 3 large tomatoes, 1 small onion, 1 small bell green pepper (seeded), 1 4oz. can chopped green chiles, 2 limes (juiced), 1 jalepeno (seeded) and a small bunch of cilantro (stems off). Chop up everything (except the limes, you only need the juice from those) and toss in a bowl!
Happy Cooking . . . well, Chopping! :o)
