Roberts Salsa Recipes

SALSA

Steps:

• Dice the green onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and green peppers and blend together. Add the red onions. Mince the cilantro and add to the vegetables. Add the vinegar and finish with the tomato juice. Season with salt and pepper. Chill before serving.

RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA

Steps:

• Place onion and jalapeno in the food processor first, then add remaining ingredients (start with 1/2 tbsp lime juice).
• Blitz to desired consistency - I like mine pretty smooth because you get better flavour out of the onion etc.
• Taste test with corn chip for salt and lime. Adjust if necessary.
• Refrigerate 1 hour before serving with corn chips, or other dippers (see in post for suggestions).

FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and allow to warm 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the red onions and warm for 1 minute. Next, add the jalapenos and again warm for 1 minute. Then add the orange juice and vinegar, allowing the liquids to reduce and only coat the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the jam and allow to warm for 2 minutes. Then remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, sambal, pineapple and sugar. Then add the watermelon, strawberries, kiwi, cilantro and mint. Toss together and finish with lemon juice mixture. Stir.
• Allow this to rest for 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring flavors have blended.

BLACKENED CHICKEN WITH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and sambal. Add the raspberries, pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, red onion, cilantro and mint and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring flavors are well blended.
• Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry with a paper towels, then generously coat with the blackening seasoning. In a large heavy-bottom pan, over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil and allow the oil to heat. Carefully add the chicken, cover and cook for 4 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and turn the chicken over. Repeat the cooking process until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, normally taking 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan to a serving platter to allow it to rest and finish cooking. When the temperature reaches 165 degrees F serve with the fruit salsa.
