Salsa gurus, step up

Ding dang birds is a gettin' my maters just as fast as they start to mature. Just picked a bunch of them, some a bit early, and think I"ll just make salsa out of 'em. Anyone got a quick counter top recipe in a blender or a food processor that would pass as salsa. They are Early Girl and Celebrety tomatoes, not the best for salse, but will do in a pinch. I ain't gonna throw them away. I picked a bunch agreen for friedd green tomatoes, never can find them in the stores.

Towards the end of the season, I pick all my maters green so my wife can make green tomato relish. It's the bomb! I'll take that over pickle relish any day! Once you have a brat or hot dog with green tomato relish, you'll never go back to pickle relish, If you are a relish person. I'll have to get the salsa recipe from my wife and post it later. I know she uses Mrs. Wages seasoning packets, but she also adds to that as well. It's a little on the warm side since she adds diced Habaneros, but that's how we like it.

The only changes we make to this recipe is that we add sliced black olives, we use finely chopped green onions instead of the medium onion, and we don't use the pickled jalapenos. Instead, we de-seed and dice fresh jalapenos. It is best after being refrigerated over night.

A quick one we make fresh for eating right away is to finely dice 2-3 tomatoes, then add a clove of garlic, one small diced onion, 1-2 diced jalepeno (adjust to your taste), a big bunch of cilantro. Add lime juice to taste, probably 2 tablespoons and a dash of salt and pepper.

If you are good with a knife, finely dice. If you have similar kitchen skills as JDGuru has wimmin skills, please use a food processer. Tastes the same either way.

Let it sit for a few hours and eat. If you're really hungry, eat immediately.

Keep a cold beverage of choice handy.
