It's that time again! I took a few month's off from participating in the Secret Recipe Club, and I am so glad to be back. For those who may be unfamiliar, The Secret Recipe Club is a group of bloggers that all sign up to participate, and then we are each assigned a "secret" blog that we then pick a recipe from and recreate. It is a fun way to try new things and meet other bloggers. There are so many great food blogs out there, it can be hard to keep track :) This helps set aside a little corner of the blogosphere where we can connect, create and share.
For March's assignment, I was given Smells Like Brownies. Now, I search high and low for a name on her blog but couldn't find it, so I will call her SLB :) :waves: I did learn that she hates fruit :) But does love to cook! I had such a good time thumbing through her posts and had a hard time choosing :) Some of the other contenders were Ricotta Muffins, Spicy Tuna Burgers, and Quinoa Patties with Poached Eggs. I finally decided to make the salsa recipe since both Ed and I love the salsa and I have been wanting to try my hand at it for a while. Now this makes A LOT of salsa :) so make sure you have a fairly decent sized bowl for the final mixing!
Ingredients:
1 large Red onion
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
4 jalapeno peppers
2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup lime juice
3 large garlic cloves, minced
Combine the peppers (I left all the seeds in mine, just removed the stem), onion and cilantro in food processor and process until smooth. In a large mixing bowl combine the puree and the remaining ingredients, stirring well.
For best result SLB suggests to cover and let the salsa sit, refrigerated, for 2 days. Ed and I both tried it after it was mixed up and we both REALLY liked it. I can't wait for a second taste after the flavors meld together some more :) Thank you SLB for having such an amazing recipe on your blog and allowing me to recreate it!

It will probably just me super spicy sitting in the fridge for a while! lol That looks yummy, I am in the mood for fresh salsa now :-P
ReplyDeleteI love cilantro, it make it taste so fresh! I could go for some of this right now, thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe're big fans of salsa - this sounds like a really good mix.
ReplyDeleteI love salsa, I chose a salsa for my SRC post too, but a little sweeter. Great being a part of SRC with you. Would love you to stop by and check out my Mango Avocado Salsa from my assigned blogger, Jeanette's Healthy Living. =)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing - spicy and delicious! Great choice for SRC!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love this spicy salsa. Love the tip about letting it sit for a few days. They really enjoyed your Strawberry Banana French Toast Casserole that I made for SRC - it was a huge hit.

ReplyDeleteOoh, spicy salsa with cilantro? Total win. Can't wait to try.
ReplyDeleteSuch an easy and delicious salsa. I don't think I'd be able to leave it in the fridge for two days either!

Angie, I'm glad you liked the salsa!...mine got about a zillion times spicier the longer it sat, so I hope your taste buds are prepared! (P.S., thanks for pointing out that my paranoia about not posting my name was maybe a bit unnecessary! ;))
ReplyDelete:D Please to meet you Melissa! :D I will be making some more recipes from your blog, and I will be sure to let you know when I do! :)
DeleteI love a good shot of spice once in a while! This looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat salsa does look quite fiery!
ReplyDeleteHow spicy was this? We love super spicy salsa in this household! I'm stopping by from Secret Recipe Club. I hope you'll swing by Seasonalpotluck.com March is artichoke month! http://bit.ly/zRfNjo I'd love if you'd link up your artichoke recipes!
ReplyDeleteOriginally, it wasn't too bad. It's been 3 days and it has kicked itself up a notch :)
DeleteLooks great. Very saucy to use the crushed tomatoes instead of diced (very thick too).
ReplyDeleteA Four-alarm salsa! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI could drink salsa from a tall glass every day - love that this one has lime and cilantro and garlic... oh my!!
