Happy #SundaySupper! Another Sunday, another supper around the family table. Join in on the fun using the hashtag #SundaySupper on Twitter. With the exceptionally warm weather, gardens are blooming everywhere. Since I’m doing tomatoes and jalapenos, mine won’t be planted until the end of the month. The one recipe I make over and over again with my homegrown produce is this Garden Salsa. I learned this recipe back in my high school foods class, so I’ve been making this for…almost 8 years now? Could be 10 even. Anyway, it is a very basic tomato salsa, which takes only 20 minutes to cook on the stove top. If you can chop and stir, you can make this salsa.
As you can see by the recipe, this salsa is very pure. Very little seasoning, no cilantro, no lime juice. Your heat factor depends on how many and how mature your jalapenos are. Sometimes my batch is very mild. Other times you are sweating from the heat. Not only does this salsa make a great companion to nachoes, it makes a great sauce when you toss it with some pasta. I prefer tortellini or even ravioli, but spaghetti works well too.
I have made this salsa both with fresh and canned tomatoes. Of course, fresh is preferred, but because the salsa is cooked down, canned is acceptable. If you do use canned, dump both the tomatoes and the juice into the pan. You can also serve it immediately or chill it for a few hours. I prefer it warm, but I’m not going to say no to cold either.
