PEPPER AND TOMATO SALSA

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Mexican Recipes

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
2 poblano peppers
3 large tomatoes
6 ounces tomatillos, husks removed
1/4 cup olive oil
6 scallions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Place the chicken stock in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until reduced to 1 cup; set aside. Place poblanos directly on a gas-stove burner over high heat or on a grill. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn peppers with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place peppers on a bakingpan, and broil in oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let sweat until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Transfer peppers to a work surface. Peel off blackened skin; discard. Halve peppers; discard seeds. Roughly chop; set aside.
  • Roughly chop tomatoes, and set aside. Roughly chop tomatillos, and add to the tomatoes, tossing to combine. Place half of the tomato mixture in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside remaining tomato mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet; add scallions and garlic. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add processed tomato mixture and reduced stock. Bring to a simmer; add roasted poblanos, oregano, cumin, and salt. Simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining tomato mixture; cook until just softened, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 3 days.

TOMATO AND PEPPER SALSA



Tomato and Pepper Salsa image

I tend to plant more tomatoes than I will ever need and by late summer there is such an over abundance of homegrown tomatoes that I'm searching for ways to use them all. This is why I was so thankful when Chef Mike Selig gave me this salsa recipe. I make a batch every week from late summer through early fall. Not only is it good for all the extra tomatoes, but it also helps me use up all the excess bell peppers and jalapenos, too! To watch how I prepare this recipe, check out the video below! Related

Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tomato
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup purple onion, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon jalapeno, chopped

Steps:

  • To start dice the tomatoes. Slicing tomatoes is easiest if you use a serrated blade such as a bread knife.
  • Next, core, seed and dice the bell pepper. Chop up the fresh cilantro. Combine these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle with the fresh lemon juice and lime juice. These juices are the acid that will help break down the tomato and pepper.
  • Now add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh jalapeno to give it that little extra kick.
  • Finally mix it all together.
  • I like to let it sit, unrefrigerated for about an hour to let all the flavors meld. This is a great salsa for eating with chips or roll some up in a pita or a tortilla as a quick snack.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano or ancho peppers. For a hot salsa, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Roast your peppers: Roasting peppers will deepen their flavor and give your salsa a smoky taste.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or oregano will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to your salsa.
  • Don't overcook your salsa: Salsa is best when it's fresh and vibrant. Overcooking it will make it lose its flavor and texture.
  • Serve your salsa immediately: Salsa is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant colors, zesty flavors, and endless variations, salsa is a versatile condiment that can elevate any dish. Whether you're enjoying it with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or grilled meats, salsa adds a burst of flavor and personality to every bite.
