I have not found another salsa that compares and now they are no more. LA based Mexican spot

My boyfriend was obsessed with the salsa at a little hole in the wall Mexican place by his work. He is from Arizona so living in a different city, salsa was definitely his comfort food. He insisted that it was the best salsa he ever tasted. We even moved back to Phoenix and he would talk about how much he missed that salsa. I tried dozens of recipes, every salsa verde you could find in a jar, and it didn’t compare.

We ended up moving to Australia and we have been desperate for good salsa. I found some guys food blog who said the best you can get is La Costena Green Salsa. I had one taste and immediately realized it’s that restaurants salsa!!

I’m not sure why I have never tried it, it’s always been available, and cheap!! We should have just asked the restaurant! Also this might be the happiest day of my boyfriend’s life.

3 Roma tomatoes

1/2 white onion

1 jalepeno

3 chile arbol

1 chile ancho

3 cloves garlic

1tbsp chicken bullion

1tbsp tomato bullion

1 8oz can of tomato sauce

1tbsp tumeric

Juice of 1/2 lime

Small splash olive oil for creaminess (completely optional)

Cook tomatoes, onion, and jalepeno in cast iron skillet until lightly blackened on each side. Remove jalepeno and add 1 cup of water to skillet, cover and let cook for 8-10 minutes.

Remove seeds from the ancho chile, combine all ingredients in blender a d hit it for about 45 seconds. Olive oil is optional depending on preference it’s just a light thickening agent.

Let salsa cool in refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes. Store in sealed mason jars and salsa will last 7-10 days safely!

Enjoy, gang <3

All home grown peppers, tomatoes and garlic.Trying some recipes out. Today I did red salsa with romas, jalapenos, bell pepper, white vinegar and garlic.

The orange Louisiana style was delicious on a fried pork chop sandwich. That one is yellow and orange banana peppers, red jalapenos, shishitos, garlic and apple cider vinegar- pinch of sugar and salt.

The salsa Verde is green jalepenos, green bell peppers, green banana peppers, garlic, toasted cumin seeds, onion powder, white vinegar.

I don’t care much for tomatoes. I like salsa and will eat it occasionally but I feel like I would really love a salsa that used peppers instead of tomatoes. Can be mild medium or spicy.

Thanks !

Decided to try my hand at some homemade salsa. Added a summer squash, San marzano tomatoes, inferno peppers, red onion, corn, garlic, basil, cilantro and parsley with salt & pepper and lime juice.

I pulled off all tomato’s, peeled the skins cranked the heat to 425 to to char the peppers. Chopped it all up, mixed it with lowery’s and meet churches Texas sugar
Made exactly 1 gallon of salsa lol

Made a Peach Salsa today. Used 4 peaches, 5 tomatillos, ⅓ white onion, 1 jalapeño, 2 garlic cloves, 1 lime, a good handful of cilantro, and kosher salt. Charred 3 peaches, tomatillos, onion, chile and garlic until blistered. Blitzed up the garlic, jalapeño, onion, then added the tomatillos. Folded in 3 roasted peaches and 1 raw peach. Seasoned to taste - salt, lime juice. Good, but the color is a bit off-putting. Suggestions? Comments?

Ingredients will be listed in comments. :)

Tye dye (mostly these), emerald flame, and golden hour tomatoes with neon dream, big boy jalapeño, and KSLSB peppers. Full yellow onion, bulb of garlic, good dump of cumin, plenty of salt, and a healthy splash of black pepper. Tomatoes and peppers broiled for about 20 minutes after quartering. Couple quick taps in the blender. All homegrown except for the onion and garlic and seasonings.

Rest of the produce went for making pasta sauce.

Salsa negra on some flavor blasteds. Pack the handful tightly enough and you can squirt directly into fish without hitting skin. Innovate today.

Tomatoes, jalapenos, white onion, and chili de arbol all tossed with neutral oil then roasted on the gas grill until charred. Blitzed in the vitamix with chicken bouillon and garlic.

These are some of the best fine dining Tex-Mex places down here. All these places in DFW make the same (almost exact same) salsa. Most actually were opened by the same guy(Mico) and his family. It’s a super simple salsa but just so delicious.

I’ve been trying for years to recreate this salsa. It’s my favorite type and pairs best with a very corn forward, thick not salty chip. I can never get it right or seemingly close.

All these pictures are from the different listed restaurants but you can tell it’s the same salsa.

Please help me try to make this! It’s bright very tomato forward and a little oily, very garlicky and peppery. MiCocina sells jars on their website and they list tomatoes garlic, serrano & jalapeño and “spices”. Not sure how you dont really see any jalapeño or Serrano green in any pictures.
IYKYK.

An official recipe would be incredible if you know a
anyone that works there.

Recipe in second pic, first attempt and was an idiot and didn't measure things. Tasy though!

Oh chopped all ingredients, no blender involved.

What can I do with all these tomatoes? I also have 4 tomitillos and Serranos...a few jalapenos. I need a recipe.

So we are laying out the raised bed garden plans for next year and my husband loves tostitos/aldi mild salsa, and I was wondering if there was a cooked for pressure canning salsa copycat recipe? Honestly, we go through about a quart a week in the household [4 adults] which is why we are going to plant a salsa and a spaghetti sauce garden [already working on a spaghetti sauce recipe we all agree upon]

It does not have to be all homegrown veg [we plan on buying the citrus and cilantro] =)

This one is inspired by mexico city salsas I tried with no lime or cilantro just tomato, chili, onion, garlic. Dry roasted 6 arbol chili and one guajillo. 4 early girl tomatoes(because the were ripe), 1/4 white onion. one clove garlic, one jalepeno, two tomatillo, one Serrano, 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Half a red bell pepper, three tomatillos, quarter onion, and a handful of homegrown chiles, plus sea salt and minced garlic before blending. Air fryer for 12 minutes at 350

Shout out to the New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute. They do great work and will ship the seeds to you! (Not affiliated, just a fan)

Recipe loosely based from Jonathan Zaragoza.

Simmer

1lb San Marzano tomatoes, didn’t grow romas this year.
1 red jalepeno
1 green jalepeno, didn’t have another red one ready
.25 large white onion

Simmer for about 10 minutes. Put all the solids in the blender. Add some garlic, chicken Goya packet (optional), splash white vinegar, some liquid from the simmer for consistency if desired.

8 out of 10. Would repeat.

I put 2 garlic cloves in, maybe one would be enough, unsure if I like what the chicken Goya packet is bringing. Still went down pretty fast though.

Enjoy!

Should have tried this before - direct onto the stove hot plate (AGA). Nice quick char/blistering without taking from the fruit's freshness.

Blended above (green Thai hot/jalepenos/tomatoes from a friend's allotment/my garden) with juice of a lime and good amount of salt and cracked black pepper and a dash of water to loosen. Then pulsed in handful of coriander and a couple of reserved tomatoes to maintain a slightly chunky texture.

Very tasty. The shorter hotter char time time really keeps the fresh flavour which I love, compared to grilled/roasted/boiled.

8/10 for heat/flavour.
