Mother-daughter team Lane and Elizabeth McCloud came up with the recipe just days before the competition. "Although we weren't allowed in the judging room, we later saw a tape of President Carter tasting our salsa and saying, 'Mmmmmm... that's good,'" says Lane, who lives in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

NEPALI PEANUT SALSA



Nepali Peanut Salsa image

My wife and I ran into this recipe on one of our trips to Nepal. It's simple to make and surprisingly good. While it's good as written it can be easily adjusted to taste. I like more tomato (2 or 3) and jalapenos in mine (2 or 3). This is best made an hour or two before it's needed but will keep for 6-8 hours in the frige.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanuts: Use unsalted, roasted peanuts for the best flavor and texture. You can use dry roasted or oil roasted peanuts, depending on your preference.
  • Toast the peanuts: Toasting the peanuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Adjust the spice level: If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapeños or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, reduce the amount of spicy ingredients.
  • Let the salsa marinate: Letting the salsa marinate for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This will give you the best-tasting salsa.

Conclusion:

Georgia peanut salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of dishes.
