Best 4 Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa Recipes

SALSA RECIPE - AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SALSA ROJA

Steps:

• Blend the tomato, garlic, and jalapeno in a blender.
• Separately, dice the onions and the cilantro.
• Add the tomato, garlic, jalapeno mixture to a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil.
• Heat over medium high heat until it begins to boil, and then remove from heat.
• Put the salsa in a bowl, add the cilantro and onion, and stir well.
• Add salt to taste.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE TABLE SALSA

Steps:

• In medium saucepan add onion, tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color (about 10 minutes). While these are boiling, add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel. Let cool completely. When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely. Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
• Notes - I use 12 chile pequins and 10 chiltepins but I like my salsa pretty hot. Sometimes I will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
• If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion, dice and stir in at the end.

MEXICAN SALSA II

Steps:

• Place roma (plum) tomatoes and serrano peppers in a medium saucepan over medium high heat with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Boil 15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
• Place roma tomatoes, serrano peppers, onion, cilantro and garlic in a blender or food processor. Puree about 30 seconds, or to desired consistency. Transfer to a medium serving bowl, and salt to taste.

FRESH MEXICAN SALSA

Steps:

• Char the tomatoes over a gas grill or under the flame of a hot broiler for 2 minutes to char the skin, turning them until the peel blisters. Slip off the peel, and the flesh should still be firm. Remove the green stem core and cut the tomatoes in half vertically. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and discard.
• In the food processor, drop in the garlic, cilantro, green onions and jalapenos into the bowl of the food processor to chop for just a few seconds.
• Add all the remaining ingredients from the recipe, tomatoes, Serrano chili, the chopped green chilies and lime juice. The texture is somewhere between a chow-chow relish and a textured puree. You want to see tiny bits of all the vegetables throughout the salsa. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Place in fridge for approximately one hour.
