Winter 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:
1/4 cup red onion
1/2 of a small jalapeno, seeds removed (or you can keep them in for more heat)
1 large clove of garlic
1, 14.5 oz can of Diced Tomatoes with green pepper & onion
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cumin
1 tsp lime juice
small handful of cilantro
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or chopper. Pulse to a few times until all the ingredients are chopped to your desired consistency. If you like somewhat chunky salsa, add only half of the can of tomatoes at first. After you chop up all the other ingredients, add the second half of the can of tomatoes and pulse once or twice. Store in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
