So here it starts Revvy

Avocado Salsa

4 medium tomatoes
4 jalapenos
seeded, minced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro( or more)
1/4 cup minced onion(real onions, not prepared)
1 clove of garlic(or more)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 coarse salt
1/2 black pepper
1 ripe Haas avocado, peeled, seeded, diced. That's the black one

1. Preheat grill to high.

2. Place the tomatoes on the grate and grill until lightly browned and soft
Let cool.
3. Put tomatoes in a food processor or blender and process to a
coarse puree. Add all other ingredients except avocado and
process just to mix, not too much.

4. Add avocado and process just a bit. Avocado should be still visible
in salsa.
5. Add more lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Make 2 cups, easy to double recipe.

Thanks for the recipe (and Revvy for starting the idea)! Sounds delicious! Very timely too what with the superbowl upon us. What is better than beer, chips and salsa for watching any sporting event?

Although I don't have a salsa recipe I have a salsa story to share...When my dad was inthe hospital dying 2 years ago, my 82 year old mom was staying at my sisters. Her doctor had prescribed an antidepressent for her during this time.

Well, evidently it had an interesting reaction where my mom was concerned...

Evidently one morning at my sister's, my mom proceeds to tell my sister about this intense dream she had, where she was making "ensalada" (the Spanish version of Slasa.) In the dream, she had skewered tomatoes on forks and was roasting them over one of the burners on my sister's gas range. And was chopping up the onions and garlic and stuff and putting it together in a tupperware container...But with my mom's arthirtis she couldn't get the container into the drawer in my sister's fridge...

As my mom is telling this story my sister is making breakfast and she goes into the fridge and notices that there is a tupperware half way jammed into the drawer of the vegetable crisper....

Full of roasted tomato salsa....

(There's no point to this story, just that it sorta had to do with salsa..and I wanted a way to subscribe to this food porn thread.)

I've already printed out that avocado recipe- thanks! I can't wait to try it. Salsa is one of my favorite things to have around the house- I put it on everything. I love avocados, and I'm a big cilantro fan, so I'm looking forward to this one.

It won the local Mango Mania salsa 3 years in a row( could only enter 3 times )

Yooper
That one is my favorite

I make all my own chile powders now by buying the dried peppers and grinding them as I need them, which makes all the difference in this kind of food
