Toms Red And Green Salsa Recipes

RED AND GREEN SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; remove seeds and veins and discard. Cut thin strips lengthwise from pepper halves then cut strips in half crosswise.
• 2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, cover bowl and let stand a couple of hours at room temperature to blend the flavors.

RED AND GREEN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Place chipotle pepper and jalapeño pepper in small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Set aside until chipotle is softened, about 30 minutes, and drain.
• Meanwhile place tomatillos and tomatoes in a shallow metal baking pan and roast in oven for 15-20 minutes.
• Transfer to a blender and add drained peppers (you might want to seed the chipotle first and start with half a pepper each and adjust according to taste) and oil, oregano, marjoram, lime juice, salt & pepper and cilantro, if desired. Blend well until smooth.

RED AND GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• If using tomatillos, discard outer husks and rinse tomatillos under warm water.
• Chop tomatoes or tomatillos fine (there should be about 1 1/2 cups) and in a bowl stir together with remaining ingredients. Let salsa stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Salsa may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
