Salsa

These two recipes are from Peru

Green Salsa; Chili with Cilentro

5 green (long) chilies
4 Jalapeno
2 yellow chilies

Cut in pieces, leaving seeds makes it very hot, you can leave in some seeds or no seeds, depending on how hot you want it to be.
Place in a blender or food processer, Add olive oil to form a smooth paste.

add to chilies
3 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Blend once again

Add 1 bunch cilentro, cut stems off to leaves and blend

Add 'club' crackers (similar to saltines) to consistency, if it is to thick add more olive oil to thin add more crackers.

serve with bread or on boiled red potatoes or with meat.


Salsa and Green Onions

20 yellow chili - ½ with the seeds cleaned out
10 jalapeno - ½ seeds cleaned out
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

blend chilies, garlic, salt and pepper and olive oil

4 bunches of green onions cut-sliced

add blended chilies and garlic to onions

2 lemons squeezed

over chili and onions

Ok, Westbrook... you have my attention. And they do look good!

But ya know we midwesterners just got used to the *red*, tomatoe-y (yes, Hoosiers LEARNED to spell tomatoes with an *E* as our dictionaries said BOTH were acceptable!!!) stuff we dip our bagged tortilla chips into.

So how would *you* use these? You say "serve with bread or on boiled red potatoes or with meat", but as a bread spread with a meal, or a snack? Stirred into boiled red potatoes as a side dish, I get that one, but how with the meat? Like a condiment... a bit on a bite?

I hate to appear so dumb, but I guess I'll risk it to learn something... LOL

Cat,

I had to ask the same things from my SIL. Remember these are from Peru.

They use this on everything! chips, bread, crackers, meat -condiment, I ate it with a spoon! oh it was sooo good.

What is nice about these two recipes is that it uses 2 items that grow in abundance.

The chili and Onions are like a salad and could be eaten as a side dish. The Green Salsa is one of those that is versatile!

*slipping in a few boonie peppers into Westy's salsa*

These give a new definition to M-80's.
