Salsa

My parents joined us in Dubuque over Labor Day and we went to the Farmer's Market where we found a salsa basket for $4! Mom and I enjoyed making the salsa and figuring out what everything was in the basket, while the guys enjoyed watching football and eating the salsa! (Tyler did make his delicious guacamole!)

 

Ingredients: 20 small tomatoes, 2 small onions, 2 tomatillos, 8 cloves of garlic, different kinds of chili peppers, lime, and cilantro 

Wash everything

Cut up tomatoes and tomatillos

Roast peppers in oven until blackened (about 15-20 minutes on broil)

Put peppers in bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 20 minutes (helps to remove skins)

Wearing gloves, take off the skins and the seeds of the peppers

Mince onions, garlic, and cilantro

Combine tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, garlic, onion, and cilantro; mix to desired texture

Stir in juice of one lime

 We were surprised at how much better this salsa was than the kind from the store! It was a lot of work, but definitely a fun adventure!
