Grocery Store Salsa??

[Silverback]

Get the real homemade green stuff at La Michoacana I guarantee it's better than the Del Real stuff

[Mach1]

Found this shit at Kroger in the refrigerated section, hands down the best shit I've ever had from a store and most restaurants.

Herdez has been my favorite for years and mostly because I think its the least soupy of store bought. Its always chunky and you can see the peppers and onions and it sticks to the chips, not all running off. Also it doesn't have any of that "sweet" taste some of these other salsas have.

^^^^^^^^^This if I run out of my own.

Mine

8 cans of whole peeled mators, two bell peppers, two white onions, 1 pound of jalapenos, one tablespoon of cilantro(optional), one tablespoon of garlic and one tablespoon of salt.

Sometimes this stuff is smoking hot and sometimes it is not. It just depends on the season for the jalapenos. A 1/4 pound of jalapenos will usually guarantee mild.

Chop it up with a knife for chunky or food processor for smooth and blended.

Boil the jalapenos for 15 minutes to get the skin off then chop up.

Skin the onions and clear the seeds out of the bell peppers and chop both.

Strain the juice off the whole peeled mators and chop. Keep the juice or I just strain it into my pan.

Pile all of this except the cilantro into a pan and bring to a boil until the onions turn clear. It is actually very good warm from the pan.

I add the cilantro now(if I add it) and jar. It will seal the jars without pressure cooking them. Make a pretty good stash of the stuff.

And you didn't share with the rest of the class!

I shared with the rest of the drunkards that were at the FFL draft!

FWIW, I enjoy trying new salsa recipe's. I'm still interested in the one you were going to post.

just forgot. The one HOOCB posted above is the one I posted in Canada. It's not my exact, but I can't give away all my secrets. I made one a few weeks ago, hatch chile and tomatillo, and it was the shit!

Agreed.

I'll post up my homemade recipe when I get home.

Today

I agree. It's damn near the same thing as Pace. Was thoroughly disappointed.

Left us hangin'.

I went a searched for bcoop's recipe over in Canada...They still have ad banners for companies that are no longer in business. I don't think the canucks give 2 shits about that site anymore. Anyway, that's a story for a different thread.

Here is what I found.

Seriously, it's easy as shit.


Boil tomatoes, and peppers together. Once the tomatoes bust, that's long enough. You can skin the tomatoes if you want, I don't. Make sure and chop the stems off the peppers. I use 3 normal large tomatoes, and 6 romas. I also use two types of peppers (jalapeno, and serrano). I usually use 6-8 jalapenos (WITH seeds, but I like it hot.. devein and deseed if you're a puss), and 1-2 serranos, but that changes every time I make it depending on the heat of the peppers, and who I'm making it for. About 3/4 of a yellow or purple onion (which onion is personal preference). Peel the onion, and cut it in to quarters just to make it easier on the processer. Pull the leaves off of about 4-5 stems of cilantro, and add in to a food processor or blender with the tomatoes, peppers, and onion. Peel about 4 cloves of garlic, and toss in with the rest. Blend or process to desired consistency.

Salt and pepper to taste. I also add a tablespoon or so of ground cayenne, about a 1/4 tsp of cumin (careful, it's easy to overdo and will kill it if you overdo it). The cumin isn't a must, but I like the earthy flavor it adds. I also squeeze a whole fresh lime in it. If you're not huge on lime, just go with a half a lime. It will help preserve it and it will last longer, plus it adds to the flavor.

If you have the patience, it ALWAYS tastes better the next day, once the flavors meld together. Not that it's not good immediately, but it will gain heat and flavor overnight in the fridge.

voila

I just bought this and it tasted like shit, worst salsa ever. Not even hot.

I think it tastes decent. It's got a distinct flavor, for sure, but it isn't hot at all.

Well, at least you're only out a couple bucks, and not a few grand on oil futures.

[Bad Religion]

Hell on the Red hot sauce is the best store bought I've found. It is not chunky, it has a nice puree type mix with small pieces. It's excellent.



legit reviews.

I agree me and my wife tried that market fresh and it was great . I didn't care much for the black bean and salsa I just got recently but Im just not a huge fan of corn and that shit was loaded with it

The white queso is horrible too if you don't like mostly lime and pepper tastes. The yellow queso is beuno though! And their seasoned fresh chips are bad ass as well as long as you eat them quickly as they stale in like 5 days. I assume it's because they don't have perservatives.
