Orange Salsa Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 Cups of Diced Fresh Orange Tomatoes
(5-10 Orange Heirloom Tomatoes) - 1/2 Cup of Chopped Orange Hot Peppers such as our Orange Jalapeños or our Orange Pumpkin Spice Jalapeño – you can deseed them if you want to cut down on the heat level, or leave the seeds in for a nice spicy salsa!
- 1 medium sized Red or White Onion, diced
- 3-6 Garlic Cloves, peeled
- Juice of 1 Lime
- I Bunch of Cilantro, stems are fine, too!
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin (optional)
- 1 Teaspoon of sugar (completely optional, to taste, to sweeten a tad if too acidic)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
If you are using fresh tomatoes you can opt to cook them down in a heavy saucepan or roast them in the oven for a thicker salsa. Let cool, then use in recipe.
Using Food Processor, process all the ingredients above (except for the onions) until nicely mixed in batches. To reduce bitterness and sweeten onions, soak the diced onions in cold water while you are processing the rest of the ingredients. Stir in onions into the salsa, and store in a glass dish in the fridge. Let it chill it to get the flavors to develop before eating, but of course you're welcome to put some in a small bowl to taste right away, that's what we always do! We find that the spice level gets hotter overnight.
Enjoy this amazing Orange Salsa with corn tortilla chips or on tacos, burritos, as a marinade in the crockpot.... this Orange Chile Salsa is sure to get used up quick.
