Fresh Salsa
Jacob Bailey
From Katherin Deumling of Cook With What You Have
You have many of the ingredients for the sweetest, freshest and most savory salsa in your share this week. I made this recently for a crowd and it was devoured and enjoyed even by those who purportedly don’t like spicy salsa. The jalapenos are so flavorful and subtly spicy.
2 large tomatoes, washed, cored and finely chopped or diced (or if using cherry tomatoes, quartered)
½ - 1 jalapeno, finely minced (de-seed the pepper if you’re unsure of your comfort with the heat level—my guess is that you can leave the seeds in, for at least part of it)
2 tablespoons, finely chopped red onion
1-2 tablespoons chopped, roasted poblano pepper (see note below) (optional)
¼ cup cilantro, well washed and dried and chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced and then mashed with some coarse salt and the side of a chef’s knife into a paste (or just mince)
Sea salt
Mix everything together well and adjust seasoning with salt. Serve with chips or with fish tacos or any kind of tacos or with quesadillas or as a side for grilled fish or vegetables or pretty much anything.
