Salsa!
July 21, 2008
Today I made salsa. I used canned whole tomatoes because the fresh tomatoes here make the hothouse tomatoes in the US seem flavorful. I chopped up a small onion and three peppers that looked a lot like jalapeno peppers but probably weren’t. I used salt, pepper, garlic, MSG, and a bit of vinegar. I sauteed the onion, garlic and peppers in a bit of olive oil, then added it to the chunked up tomatoes. I added a bit of cornstarch to thicken the juice and simmered it a while. The initial taste tests were very promising, but we’ll know more later tonight when we try it with tortilla chips.
