Homers Traditional Pico De Gallo Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before servings.

Steps:

• Combine tomato, onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro and green onion in a medium bowl. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Stir the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, garlic, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the Cake: Butter the jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper; then butter the paper to assure release.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer.
• In the bowl from a standing mixer, combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, vanilla in a bowl and whisk briefly. Set the bowl over the simmering water and stir until warm and the sugar looks dissolved. Attach the bowl to the standing mixer fitted with a whisk, and whip until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sift together the flour, cocoa, and baking powder 3 times.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and, while folding the egg mixture, sift in the flour mixture, little by little, until incorporated. Drizzle in the clarified butter, while folding the batter.
• Immediately pour the batter into the prepared pans dividing equally and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake until lightly browned and it starts to pull away from the edges of the pan, about 14 to 16 minutes.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let sit in the pan for 1 minute. Run a knife along the edge to release the cake then flip it out onto parchment paper. Brush the paper (the one you lined the pan with) with water and let soak for 2 minutes. Peel it off the cake. Trim dry edges from the cake. Let cool covered with plastic wrap.
• To make the Filling: In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the sugar and butter and mix on low speed until well blended; then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream for spreading consistency, if needed.
• Spread the sponge cakes with a thin layer of the filling, leaving a 1/4-inch space at the far edge. Roll the cake tightly on the long side until you have rolled a 1 1/2-inch thick log. Cut the log off from the remaining sheet of cake and place seam side-down. Repeat with remaining cake. Chill the logs for 30 minutes; then cut into 2 1/2-inch sections.
• To make the Glaze: Melt the 2 ingredients together in the top of a double boiler or a bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. One at a time, gently drop the cake rolls into the hot chocolate. Lift out with a fork and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place on the cookie sheet and let set at room temperature until the coating is firm, about 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a good sized bowl, place tomatoes, onion and peppers and stir well, then add cilantro.
• (Secret technique that actually produces a better taste) Place kosher salt in a mound in center of tomato mix, and dissolve with juice squeezed directly from the limes.
• Mix well and serve directly, or chill (the flavor improves if chilled overnight).

Steps:

• Dice up equal quantities of onion and tomato. Roughly chop the cilantro.
• Now, slice 1 or 2 jalapenos in half. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. (If you like things spicy, leave in some of the white membranes.) Dice the jalapenos very finely; you want a hint of heat and jalapeno flavor, but you don't want to cause any fires. Now dump the four ingredients into a bowl.
• Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice from half a lime the bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and stir together until combined. Be sure to taste the pico de gallo and adjust the seasonings, adding salt or more diced jalapeno if needed.

Steps:

• In a large, nonreactive bowl, add all the ingredients and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve with carne asada and grilled tortillas. Serve remainder with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with additional lime juice, salt or pepper, if desired.
• Store, covered, in refrigerator until ready to use.
