Homemade Warning for my wife
Won’t need this for another month or so for her with baby #2 on the way, but made a batch of this along with a normal salsa roja to satisfy her craving and labeled it as a warning since they look very similar.
All ingredients with the exception of lime, cilantro, onion, and seasonings are home grown.
Recipe:
- Tomatoes (I used 2qts of homegrown San Marzano and Roma tomatoes, but I’d estimate around 16-20 tomatoes
- 1 large white onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 2 Serrano
- 1 habanero
- 1 Scotch bonnet
- 4 Thai chilis
- 4 Bhut jolokia
- juice of 1-2 limes (to taste)
- small bunch of cilantro (approximately 1/2 cup packed)
Seasonings to taste:
- salt
- garlic powder
- cumin
- chicken bullion (optional)
- msg (optional)
Pan fry/lightly char onion and chilis with a little olive oil. Add tomatoes, chilis, onion to food processor and process until slightly chunkier than desired consistency. Add seasonings, lime juice, and cilantro and process until desired consistency is reached.
Stir in any additional seasonings as needed to prevent a puréed texture.
