(YOUR NAME's) SALSA
(YOUR NAME) Salsa.......
because that is what your friends are going to call it!
(Just please let them know about the spice that you are using!!)
What you will need:
1 - sweet onion
(Buy one that look squished or is more orbicular in shape.)
1 - can of 28 oz. diced tomatoes
3 - 4 jalapeno peppers...BUY FOUR!
1 - bunch of cilantro
3 - garlic clove RAW pieces
(Buy one garlic glove and split it up to medium size pieces.)
1 - poblano chili
(as big and flat as you can find)
1 - box freezer-safe plastic bags, quart size
AND........
Smallwood General Spice!!!
Instructions:
Heat your grill.
Open the can of tomatoes and place in colander to drain, then place in fridge.
Dice 1/3 cup of cilantro and place in fridge.
Take onion and cut a big slice out of it and remove the skin.
Pull tops off of jalapenos and puncture with a fork or knife.
Clean garlic pieces until they are clean and without skin.
Remove top and split poblano pepper and de-seed.
Take onion, garlic, and jalapenos and the poblano and place on grill to cook.
FIRST:
Pull garlic when it is toasted and not burned....this will happen quickly. (PLACE IN FREEZER SAFE PLASTIC BAG.) Grill onion slice until is is charred a "little bit" on both sides. Rotate peppers until the skins blacken....... when they do, pull them and put them in the freezer bag for 5 minutes or longer. (WARNING: When dealing with peppers, wear plastic gloves or use a plastic bag over your hands. IF you decide to do this with your bare hands...have some milk handy to wash you hands. Capsaicin (8- methyl - N - vanillyl -6-nonen amide) is an active component of chili peppers. If you touch your eyes or private parts without disinfecting your hands...you are going to have an unpleasant time.)
SECOND:
De-skin the peppers as much as you can. Get rid of seeds and the internal ribs.
THIRD:
Place tomatoes, cilantro, the poblano peppers, 3 of the jalapenos, garlic and onion in a food processor and PULSE.....usually about 10 times or until you like the consistency.
TASTE TEST:
If you think it needs more "heat", add the other jalapeno.
FINALLY:
Taste test and add Smallwood General Spice to taste.
Your friends and family WILL love this. And we promise that you will get every dollar that you spent for this recipe back
