Peach Salsa
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
2 tsp. canola oil
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno chile, finely diced
2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, cut in 1/2″ dice
2 Tbsp. dried chipotle chiles, ground
1 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
fresh lime juice to taste
salt to taste
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil. Add the shallot, garlic and ginger and saute for 1 minute. Add the peaches and saute for 3 minutes or until the peaches are soft but not breaking down. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Add the chiles and stir to combine. When cool, add the cilantro, lime juice and salt. Stir to combine.
