Chili Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• In food processor place jalapenos and onions.
• Process for just a few seconds.
• Add both cans of tomatoes, salt, sugar, and cumin.
• Process all ingredients until well blended but do not puree.
• Place in covered container and chill.
• A couple of hours of chilling will help blend and enrich the flavor.
• Serve with your favorite thin corn tortilla chips.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the salsa, beans and tomato juice; heat through. Serve with the cheese, peppers, sour cream and onions if desired.

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove the chiles and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes.
• Divide the ingredients into 3 batches so they will fit into a 12-cup processor
• Combine whole tomatoes, roast chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Broil peppers 4 in. from the heat until skins blister, about 4 minutes. With tongs, rotate peppers a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place peppers in a small bowl; cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove stems and seeds. Finely chop peppers., Place tomatillos in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until tomatillos begin to soften; drain.

Steps:

Steps:

• Grill the peppers whole, turning at intervals, until the skin is blackened. Place in a bowl while still hot and cover with plastic wrap. Leave them to steam (this makes it easier to remove the skin from the peppers). Skin, remove seeds and finely chop the peppers. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Leave for 1 hour to let the flavors develop. Check for seasoning before serving.;

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; add Hatch chile peppers.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
• Blend roasted Hatch chile peppers, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, onion, cilantro, and garlic powder in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Oil a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan (not glass). Halve tomatoes lengthwise, then arrange, cut sides up, in roasting pan. Sprinkle onion over and around tomatoes and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tomatoes and onion begin to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer tomatoes, onion, and any juices in pan to a food processor and add chipotles with sauce, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until vegetables are finely chopped.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add chiles; fry until fragrant and chiles turn light orange, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate; cool. Heat same skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until golden, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water; remove from heat. Puree chiles, garlic-water mixture, honey, and cinnamon in blender, adding more water by tablespoonfuls if too thick. Transfer to bowl. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, chiles, garlic cloves, and onion in a dry, cast iron pan. Toast, turning occasionally over medium-high heat until the husks of the tomatillos have blackened and their skins turn translucent. The goal is to soften the tomatillos by blackening the skin without allowing them to split. Remove from pan, and allow to cool slightly.
• Remove the husks from the tomatillos and the stems from the peppers. Place into the bowl of a food processor with the cilantro and salt to taste; process to desired consistency. Pour the salsa into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavors and remove the raw taste.

Steps:

• Place torn chiles in bowl. Add 2 cups hot water; soak at least 2 hours or overnight. Drain chiles, reserving soaking liquid.

Place onion and garlic in blender. Add drained chiles, 1 cup soaking liquid, 1 chipotle chile, 1 teaspoon adobo, cilantro, and lime juice; puree until smooth. Add remaining chipotle and 1 teaspoon adobo, if desired; puree. Transfer to bowl. Season to taste with coarse salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Blend in blender (don't puree)- jalapenos & onion. Add both cans of tomatoes, salt, sugar & cumin.
• Blend.
• Chill.

Steps:

• Tip 1: As with most salsas and sauces, this salsa is best made a day in advance in order for the flavors to meld. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
• Tip 2: Use ripe tomatoes! This is the perfect recipe to use up tomatoes that are getting mushy. If you can't get fresh garden tomatoes, use Romas from the store for best flavor You can place the tomatoes in a paper bag for 24 hours to ripen them further if needed. It's important to de-seed the tomatoes so that your salsa is not watery. See directions below.
• Tip 3: Cilantro stems contain a ton of flavor, so use them! It will save you time by not having to pluck the leaves off.
• Tip 4: When juicing any citrus fruit, you'll get more juice if the fruit is warm. After zesting, zap your naked limes in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before cutting in half and juicing.
• Tip 5: White onions have that sharp flavor that you need to give salsa it's kick, so don't substitute.
• Tip 6: The heat of a jalapeno comes from its seeds, so de-seed them if you want a milder salsa. I usually de-seed one, and leave the seeds of the other. OPTIONAL: For richer flavor, you can fire roast your peppers over a gas burner, or in a cast iron skillet on an electric stove . Once they are black on all sides, seal them in a plastic baggie to sweat for 30 minutes, then peel them. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES when handling peppers.
• Tip 7: You can make your own taco seasoning, or use a packet. I prefer McCormick HOT taco seasoning because it has the most flavor. Don't worry, there's not enough cayenne in the packet to make your salsa too spicy. If you want it spicier, add additional cayenne or extra chopped jalapeno with seeds.
• To begin, you'll need a very large mixing bowl, a medium bowl that a strainer/colander will fit in, and a small bowl for juice/trash/seeds.
• Cut tomatoes into quarters, remove core, then use your fingers to scoop out the seeds and juice into the small bowl, leaving the empty "shell" of the tomato. Using a very sharp knife, chop the tomatoes into small, quarter inch pieces. place the chopped tomato in the strainer over the medium bowl to drain any additional liquid. When all the tomatoes are in the strainer, sprinkle them with the salt and stir, then allow them to rest in the bowl for about 30 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. The salt will draw out extra moisture and drain it into the bowl below.
• Rinse the entire bunch of cilantro under cold water, then blot it dry with paper towels. Mince the cilantro, including the stems. Add cilantro to the large mixing bowl.
• Peel and chop the onion into very small pieces, a little larger than a mince, and add it to the large bowl.
• De-seed jalapenos as desired, then chop finely and add to large bowl.
• Zest two limes, add zest to bowl. Then warm the limes and juice both into the bowl.
• Add the cans of chilies and tomato sauce, the minced garlic, and the taco seasoning to the bowl.
• Now add the strained, salted tomatoes to the bowl and stir the salsa well. Add additional salt and seasonings to taste. When tasting, be sure to use a tortilla chip. Sometimes it seems like you need more salt, but tasting it with the salty chip will be enough.
• For best flavor, refrigerate 24 hours.
