This addictive salsa is restaurant quality, or maybe even better! It's fresh and flavorful, not too spicy, and easy to make in a food processor with a mix of ripe and canned Roma tomatoes. This makes a big batch which is good because it will go fast. Serve with lots of thin, crispy tortilla chips and a margarita, of course!

LEAH'S EASY FOOD PROCESSOR SALSA

Leah's Easy Food Processor Salsa image

If you like salsa that doesn't have that thick texture like Pace- that's more like restaurant salsa- this one is for you. The heat can easily be adjusted by changing the quantity/type of peppers. I would say that following the recipe would give you a "medium" heat salsa.

Categories Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 1 quart salsa

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 -4 ripe roma tomatoes, quartered and seeded
2 (16 ounce) cans plain diced tomatoes
2 -3 garlic cloves, whole
2 jalapeno peppers, quartered and seeded
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 limes, juice of
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, stems removed, whole
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Put garlic cloves and jalapeño pieces in food processor (a blender can be used but will put a lot of air into the salsa and will not be able to be served immediately), pulse a few time until coarsely chopped.
Place roma tomatoes in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 1 minute or so on high, then remove skins.
Add diced tomatoes, lime juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times until everything looks well mixed.
Add onion, roma tomatoes, and cilantro, and pulse just a few times until onion is at desire consistency. Adding onions at the end is VERY important, otherwise they will become pureed and make a gross texture for the salsa.
If you want to remove the remaining metallic taste of the fresh tomato, cook over medium low heat in a non-reactive pot for about 15-20 minutes.
For best flavor, refrigerate over night to let flavors mingle.

Tips:

Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. For example, you could use a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before making salsa gives them a smoky, caramelized flavor. To roast your tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes.
Add some heat: If you like your salsa spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or habaneros. You can also add some chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, add a lot of flavor to salsa. Chop them up and add them to your salsa just before serving.
Let your salsa chill: After you've made your salsa, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
