EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

SALSA FRESCA

This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Steps:

  • Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.

EASY AUTHENTIC SALSA FRESCA image

Steps:

  • Using a manually operated chopper, chop the tomatoes until slightly chunky. Try to avoid getting them too saucy or allowing them to foam up. Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Press or chop the garlic. Place the remaining ingredients in the chopper. Use only the top leafy portion of the cilantro, and remove the seeds from the jalapenos for milder salsa. If it is to hot for your taste, add more tomatoes or just a pinch of sugar.

6 Roma tomatoes (important)
3 Jalapeno peppers
1/4 to 1/2 sweet or red onion
1 lime
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
One bunch of cilantro (at least one cup when chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
optional - 1/4 yellow bell pepper and one ear yellow corn (preferably roasted)

THE ULTIMATE SALSA FRESCA

Salsa fresca is a generic term for any salsa that isn't cooked. There's no right or wrong way to do it - everyone does their own thing. This recipe is my take on what my mom used to make, but I think it's exceptional. (Pat on back, LOL!) Measurements are loose, but the key is the olive oil and mexican oregano. Prep time includes 15 minutes of standing time.

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl, combine first six ingredients.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the minced serrano chiles, a little at a time, tasting for "heat" until you reach the level you can stand.
  • Let stand for fifteen minutes to let the flavors meld. A small squeeze of lime juice is also good.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. Will NOT keep overnight.
  • NOTE: this is such a versatile salsa. Try it in scrambled eggs, then rolled in a flour tortilla (breakfast burrito). Yum!

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and let sit for 15 minutes or so, to let flavors meld.
  • Try to use kosher salt rather than table salt. It's milder and sweeter.
  • Note: To make ahead, do your chopping the day before and combine ingredients 20 minutes before serving.

SALMON WITH SALSA FRESCA

There was a time when the appearance of the first ripe tomatoes would have inspired me to make the southern Italian sauce of raw tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil. These days, I turn to a Mexican-style salsa fresca: tomatoes, white onion, chili and loads of cilantro and lime. I love salsa with fish, and since it is wild salmon season, the marriage seems opportune. Halibut and swordfish, whether grilled, broiled, roasted, or even steamed, are equally fine. Though the salsa is quick to prepare, it's best if allowed to sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. The tomatoes' juices will run, and the flavors will mingle. No more than an hour, though.

Salmon With Salsa Fresca image

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be moderately hot and grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Or, heat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Chop tomatoes and combine them in a bowl with onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice and some salt. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. If grilling, rub fish with a little oil as well; put it on grill, skin side down, and let it sit for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn once (don't worry if part of skin sticks to grill). Cook for about 3 minutes more, until medium-rare.
  • If roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for a minute. Add oil and, a few seconds later, salmon, skin side up. Sear for a minute, then transfer to oven and roast until medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Allow to rest for a minute or so, then remove skin. Turn over and serve, passing salsa at the table.
