Red And Green Tomato Salsa Recipes

RED AND GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• If using tomatillos, discard outer husks and rinse tomatillos under warm water.
• Chop tomatoes or tomatillos fine (there should be about 1 1/2 cups) and in a bowl stir together with remaining ingredients. Let salsa stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Salsa may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

ROASTED GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Place green tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, bell pepper, and garlic on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables start to char, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.

GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Chop all tomatoes into small pieces, throw into a large stock pot.
• I like to run the onions and peppers through the food processor to keep tears to a minimum and to keep large pieces fairly small. Not processed enough to puree though. Or you can chop with a knife.
• Take the jalapenos or any combo of hot peppers you like and run them through the food processor til very minced (nobody likes a big bite of hot pepper. I usually do 1/2 c of processed peppers for my mild, 1 c for medium and 1 1/2c - 2 c for hot. It does get hotter the longer it sits in the cupboard.
• Throw all the chopped vegetables and remaining ingredients into the stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil on low for one hour.
• Prepare your jars for canning. Heat jars and lids.
• Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, wipe rims, place hot lids on jars and put screw bands on and finger tighten.
• Process in a hot water bath for fifteen minutes.
• Remove to the counter to cool.

RED AND GREEN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.

• Meanwhile place tomatillos and tomatoes in a shallow metal baking pan and roast in oven for 15-20 minutes.
• Transfer to a blender and add drained peppers (you might want to seed the chipotle first and start with half a pepper each and adjust according to taste) and oil, oregano, marjoram, lime juice, salt & pepper and cilantro, if desired. Blend well until smooth.
