Did you know that the tomato’s origin is South America? Neither did I until today!
Tomatoes also have high amounts of antioxidants!
Miss Melody Joachim brought me over some free heirloom tomatoes from the Pittsburgh Project yesterday!! I got a couple of beautiful squash as well. She’s the best one!
So I thought I would take this unexpected surprise delivery and turn it into a really colorful and mouth watering salsa.
I make salsa almost the same way every time, but these tomatoes are amazing and really made the salsa taste unbelievable!
So here is my tried and true process.
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes
1/2 bunch of cilantro
1 jalapeño (YES, I am still attempting to use up the supply)
1 small onion
2 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic
Put the following ingredients into the food processor:
1. Cilantro Leaves
2. Chopped jalapeño
3. One of the tomatoes (diced)
4. Garlic (roughly chopped)
5. Salt
-Blend until the texture is smooth
Dice up the rest of the tomatoes and the onion and toss with the jalapeño/cilantro puree.
How beautiful is that?!?
Love,
Jeanette
