I have recently been taught a new way of making salsa. Kiara, our roommate, has taught us how to make a superb salsa. In fact, along with our Indian neighbor's rice (I will blog about it soon), we make it every Monday so that we can have it all week long. As I was making the salsa yesterday I felt that it should be shared with everyone :) So, here it is! Enjoy.


Kiara's Salsa

2-3 lbs fresh tomatoes
2 yellow chili peppers, stems removed
1 jalapeno, stem removed
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
1/2 onion, peeled
salt

Fill a dutch oven 1/2 full of water and bring to a boil. Toss all of the ingredients into boiling water. Boil until the skin on the tomatoes is curling off, I do it for 7-9 minutes. Drain vegetables. Peel tomatoes. Put all vegetables into a blender and blend until there are no chunks but not too long that it is not somewhat thick. Let it refrigerate for about 20 minutes then add salt to taste. Enjoy!

I have been trying a lot of new recipes lately. I must say, I have been disappointed. Some recipes look like they will be fantastic but are lacking an ingredient or two. SO now, instead of having a new recipe to add to my repertoire, I have to figure out if and how it can be made better! One that did turn out to be quite delicious was Mango Chutney. I found it on the SimplyRecipes blog. I made it with her recipe for Roasted Chicken, which was also delicious. Check it out! http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/chicken_with_mango_chutney_sauce/
