Cafe Pasquals Salsa Fresca
From bluewaterandsand 15 years agoIngredients
- 5 Italian plum tomatoes shopping list
- 1/4 white onion shopping list
- 1/2 Fresh serrano or jalapeno shopping list
- 1 Chile -- stemmed, seeded, & minced shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves -- chopped shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt -- or to taste shopping list
- 1 pinch ground cumin -- optional shopping list
How to make it
- Chop the tomatoes by hand. To create a perfect 1/8-inch dice, slice
- off the stem end and stand the tomato on its now-flat surface.
- Slice straight down to make 1/8-inch-wide slabs.
- Turn the cut tomato as a unit and cut across the tomato in 1/8-inch
- increments, creating a dice. Cut the reserved slice into dice as well.
- Put the diced tomatoes into a nonreactive bowl.
- Cut the onion in the same-size dice as the tomatoes and put in the
- bowl with the tomatoes.
- Add the chile and cilantro. Add the salt and a very small amount of
- cumin, if you like. Stir well.
- Note: Because the piquant qualities of onions and chiles vary, you may need to adjust one or the other of these ingredients to taste.
- Serve the salsa at room temperature within a few hours of preparing
- it. It does not store well, the tomatoes and onion become soft and
- the flavors dissipate.
