Neal’s Salsa Recipe

I’ve tried several times throughout my life to make salsa and every time until today, it sucked. Today, I made a batch of the best salsa I’ve ever tasted. Here’s what I did:

Ingredients:

1 Medium Onion
3 Cloves of Garlic
4 Red Peruvian Peppers
1 Lemon
1 Fresh Tomato
1 16oz Can of Whole Peeled Tomatoes
1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. White Pepper
1 Tbsp. Louisiana Hot Sauce.
3 Tbsp. Parsley
Salt & Pepper
1/4 Cup Ice Water

I roasted the Peruvian Peppers and the fresh Tomato on the grill. When the peppers had grill marks all around, I threw them in the food processor. When the tomato skin blistered and cracked, I peeled it off and threw the whole tomato in the food processor. I also threw in the sliced onion and the three garlic cloves. I pulsed to grind that all up. I added the rest of the ingredients and pulsed to mix it all up. I added salt and fresh ground pepper until it tasted like I wanted it. I pulsed some more until everything was very finely chopped.

That was it. I let the ingredients get aquanted for a hour before adding a quarter cup of ice water to cool it down. When the ice melted as I stirred, I dug in with chips. It rocked!
