Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes with juice
2 (10-ounce) cans Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)**
1 can canned mild green chili works fine, if you can't find Rotel tomatoes)
1/4 cups chopped onion (I used red)
1 clove garlic
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin (use 1/2 for a milder version)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • You only need to rough chop the vegetables and toss them into a food processor, which includes: Onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse just a few times. Add the tomatoes and mild green chilis (or the Rotel tomatoes, if using). Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like-I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed. Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA (PIONEER WOMAN)

I must say I was skeptical of making salsa with other than fresh tomatoes, but i was pleasantly surprised. Like Pioneer Woman, I also don't like most of the store-bought salsa because of the vinegar flavor. I used diced tomatoes instead of whole and a lot more cilantro, but the recipe is posted as written. Recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks, Food From My Frontier.

PIONEER WOMAN RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA

I found this recipe of Ree Drummonds when she first came out with it (I have no idea how many years ago that was). I do know that it is the best salsa I've ever tasted and so easy to make. It does taste restaurant quality! I have no idea how long it will last in the refrigerator as it disappears fast. I've lost count of the...

Categories     Salsas

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 28 oz. can(s) whole tomatoes, including juice
2 10 oz. can(s) rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c onion, diced
1 jalapeno, quartered
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 c fresh cilantro
juice from 1/2 of a lime

Steps:

  • 1. Note: this is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.
  • 2. Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno (just cut the ends off and then cut the jalapeno into 4 chunks...you add the whole jalapeno including the seeds and membrane) garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---I do about 10 to 15 pulses (10 to 15 pulses is how Ree likes it...I like it a little chunkier, so I pulse it 5 times and then check it. Pulse till it's the consistency you want).Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • 3. Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos
  • 4. Pat's Note: You can make this as hot as you want by getting the hotter Rotel instead of the original and increasing the jalapeno pepper used to two instead of the one. When I have fresh tomatoes out of the garden, I use the same weight of them as the canned tomatoes. I will also use my home canned tomatoes. I also use two 14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes and juice in place of the whole tomatoes. Adjust the garlic and onion to your taste.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can roast them in the oven to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Choose the right type of tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds than other varieties. You can also use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, but you will need to cut them in half or quarters before adding them to the salsa.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the mix. You can also add some cayenne pepper or chili powder. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Don't over-process the salsa. A chunky salsa is more flavorful than a smooth salsa. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender just until they are combined.
  • Let the salsa chill before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Restaurant-style salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a salsa that is as good as or even better than what you get at your favorite restaurant. So next time you are having a party or get-together, be sure to make a batch of this delicious salsa. Your guests will love it!
