Fresh homemade salsa – Straight from the Garden!
It’s been a long summer of spaghetti, tomato sandwiches, and salsa! I was gathering about 50 tomatoes every week back in June. I’m already missing them, but thankfully froze bags full of peeled tomatoes. They will be great to use in Italian dishes in the fall. Tomatoes are beyond healthy, and is worth the short time it takes to plant them!
I grew up on this salsa, and I will put it up against any brand. It’s crazy that whole foods charges $5+ for any 12 ounce jar of any organic salsa. I could probably fill up 20 of these bottles with just this batch. Total cost: $1.00 for an onion and garlic. I picked the bell pepper and jalapenos from the garden as well.
Such a simple recipe:
Chop up as many tomatoes as you want.
Boil a pot of water and boil the Bell pepper, garlic, onion, and jalapenos for 6 minutes (don’t peel anything!)
Let cool and then peel and chop the vegetables.
Combine the cooked vegetables with the chopped raw tomatoes, and add some chopped fresh cilantro with a little salt and ground pepper.
Voila!
I love “Garden of Eatin” chips, especially the blues. So fresh and nutritious. Enjoy!
Okay, when the first Alabama football game this season is on TV you are at our house and you are bringing the salsa.
