For my 1st new recipe I decided to try something I have never made before: homemade salsa. Originally I intended to make a peach salsa, but my plans changed when I realized the peaches I bought were not ripe at all. So instead I decided to throw a few things together based on a few recipes I have seen in the past. Overall, I just kinda improvised and the end result was great. Here were the ingredients I used:
1 can diced tomatoes
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
1 clove garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 red pepper
1 red onion
cilantro (I just added as much as I felt would be enough...)
jalapeños (I used the canned type)
salt
I chopped everything up, mixed it all together, and let it sit overnight. It was really good last night but had a lot more flavor when I tasted it today. I even used some of it to make Spanish rice and it turned out to be delicious. Since I don't have a food processor, it ended up being a very "chunky" salsa, almost like a pico de gallo. I may try to blend it in the future so that it is more like a regular salsa. Overall, I feel like my 1st attempt at salsa was a success! Now back to studying for anatomy...
