Who has Mexican Restaurant salsa recipe?

[hunybee]

do you have a few names of restaurant's salsa you like?

that would be easier for us to nail it for you if we know which one

We have one called La Fiesta. There are 3 or so in the area so I don't know if it's a chain or not. The other local one has a name that I can't quite come up with right now. It's in a small town so we just say "let's go to the Mexican restaurant," and that's enough to pinpoint the location.

I was thinking this too .... which one? Me .... I start with the basics. Tomato, garlic, onion, jalapenos, garlic and jalapenos, add some salt and a bit of vinegar and into the blender it goes. Taste and make minor adjustments ....

O.W.

Do you like green sauce? I have a good recipe for that.

I used the salsa recipe from the Border Grill cookbook, and frankly it is the best of all.

I will dig out my copy and post this for everyone.

I make a simple salsa that everyone around here loves. I was trying to copy our Mexican Rest.

2 large cans of whole tomatoes
2 onions
1/2 cup cillantro
1 tbl spoon of lime juice

add sea salt and jal peppers to taste


Chop up the tomatoes, onions and cillantro

mix it all in a bowl and start dipping

Okay, the ultimate salsa recipe....

1) 4 Roma tomatoes, cut in half, cored, seeded... leave only the outer meat. Chop this into small pieces. As small as possible.

2) 1 large red onion. Chopped very fine--as in a food processor fine/minced.

3) 1 or 2 Jalapeno chlies, steamed until soft, then minced up.

4) 1 bunch of cilantro. Use only the leaves. Chop up fine.

5) 2 Tbl sp's of lime juice.

6) 1/2 tbl spn of course salt.

7) Big pinch of ground pepper.

Mix this in a bowl and then let it sit for a few hours. The juices come out of the onions and tomatoes and blend up with the spicing. It is delicious.

I also add a couple of cap-fulls of Mr. Stubb's liquid smoke flavor.

This stuff is hard to find in the stores BTW.

Thanks, everyone, for the additional ideas and recipes. I've never tried green salsa but I've seen it in the grocery store. I'm going to try these recipes as soon as I can. Sure wish I could pinpoint the ingredient that gives the taste I'm searching to reproduce. As someone mentioned, asking the restaurant for the recipe or at least to get some info would be worth a try. Of course, I don't speak Spanish but maybe they'll indulge me.

I will give your recipe a try. Thanks!
