Sunday Salsa
Ingredients
- 10 cloves garlic
- ½ large yellow onion coarsely chopped
- 4 poblano chiles charred, peeled, stemmed, and seeded
- 4 jalapeño chiles charred, peeled, stemmed, and seeded
- 16 plum Roma tomatoes, ends removed, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place garlic and onion in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process to a paste.
- Add remaining ingredients and process until mixed and relatively smooth. You may work in batches as necessary, and consider pulse-processing this salsa so that you have more control over the consistency of the end product.
- Pour the processed salsa into a large heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- This Salsa is best served either slightly chilled or at room temperature. You can store it, preferably in glass containers, sealed and refrigerated for up to weeks.
- Note that this salsa tastes even better the longer it’s allowed to sit.

Today I am sharing with you the second recipe from the “New Southwest Cookbook Spotlight Event", hosted by Girlichef. If you missed the first recipe I made, here’s the post for the delicious Mushrooms and Leek Migas.
This week we were able to choose our own recipe from the book. When I got this book I sat down with my post-its and began marking all the recipes I’d like to make, and I marked almost every recipe in the book! So I decided to make the first recipe in the book, "Sunday Salsa".
I love salsa! Actually, the word ‘love’ might not be strong enough, I’m a bit obsessed with salsa! This Sunday Salsa is delicious and very easy to make, I wouldn’t change a thing with this recipe. It’s one that will be made often in my kitchen.
Buen provecho!

I feel the same way about salsa - I would happily munch my way through a bit batch of this and some chips. Looks fantastic, Erica.

8 cups of salsa, better have a party after. It does look great, charring the chilies adds so much flavor. Great choice.

I'm with you, Erica. I love salsa! It brings so much flavor to a dish. This recipe caught my eye because of the hefty use of garlic. I am a big time garlic lover so I know I would like this one. It looks really good!

Love that bowl, it's so cute and colorful! The salsa sounds wonderful too. I hate buying the jarred stuff.
