Laurens Pink Tomato Salsa Recipes

PAUL'S FAMOUS SALSA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine tomatoes, onions, serrano peppers, and garlic in a large bowl; drizzle with vegetable oil and toss until lightly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until vegetables begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables to the bowl of a food processor. Add salt and cumin; pulse a few times until desired chunkiness is reached. Add cilantro and pulse a couple of times to combine. Stir in lime juice.

VALENTINA'S CHARRED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred, 7-10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until saucy and juices are thickened, 6-8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer tomatoes to a blender and add onion, garlic, chile, cilantro, and lime juice. Purée on high until mostly smooth but still with some texture; season salsa with salt.
• Do Ahead
• Salsa can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Put chilies and onions in a bowl.
• Using a very sharp knife, chop all the tomatoes into rough cubes 1/4 inch or less to a side. There should be about 3 cups altogether. Add the tomatoes, with their juice, to the bowl.
• Chop the sweet pepper into rough cubes 1/4 inch or less to a side; add to the vegetable mixture and mix thoroughly. Taste, and add a few drops of Tabasco, salt and pepper, adjusting seasonings to taste (remember that the flavors will develop as the salsa sits awhile). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside for at least half an hour. If setting aside or storing for longer periods, salsa may be refrigerated, but the flavors are best just slightly chillier than room temperature. Serve with corn or tortilla chips to dip.
