Green Apple Salsa Recipes

GREEN APPLE SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, mixing well.
• NOTE: To help keep apples from turning brown, fill a bowl large enough to hold apples with cold water and add enough lemon juice to cloud the water a bit. Place peeled apples in this mixture while waiting to dice them. After dicing, return to this mixture until ready to use. Drain and proceed.

FRESH TOMATO AND GREEN APPLE SALSA

• Combine tomatoes, apples, cucumber, corn, bell pepper, green onion, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno chiles, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Serve cold.

SHRIMP AND GRITS WITH GREEN APPLE-PARSLEY SALSA

Steps:

• For the grits: Cover the grits in a medium pot with about a quart of hot water. Bring to a boil, whisking often, then cook over medium-high heat until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the honey. When volcanic bubbles appear, turn off the heat. Add the butter and melt, continuing to whisk often. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper and/or honey.
• For the salsa: Cover the mustard seeds in a small pan with about 1 cup hot water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, vinegar, anchovy oil, hot sauce and Fresno chile in a medium bowl. When very little liquid remains in the pan, add the mustard seeds to the bowl with the oils and vinegar. Add the green apple and parsley. Mix and set aside.
• For the shrimp: Sprinkle the shrimp with salt. Lightly coat a large skillet with canola oil and cook the shrimp over medium-high heat. Add the butter to help with the browning. Flip the shrimp after about a minute. Add the lemon zest.
• Divide the grits between 2 bowls and top each with 3 pieces of shrimp. Drizzle the shrimp with the salsa.

GREEN APPLE SALSA - THE WORLD'S GREATEST - BY FAR

Steps:

• Squeeze as much juice and pulp as possible out of the lemon and lime into a bowl.
• If you are feeling ambitious, use some of the zest as well.
• Add the honey and mix until uniform, set aside.
• Peel, core and dice the apples to 5mm (0.2 inches) While doing so, add the finished dices to the juice/honey mix so the apple bits don't turn brown.
• Peel and dice the onion to the same size as the apples, add this to the mix.
• Remove the stem and deseed the poblano. Dice to the same size as the others. Add to the mix.
• Finely chop the cilantro.
• Mix everything until uniform. If all goes well, it should have an eerie green color suitable for St. Patrick's day.
• Serve with chips or over lightly seasoned fish or pork.
