So... Scott, the suburban farmer, has a bumper crop of tomatoes just wanting to be made into the world's best condiment: SALSA. (yeah, I threw it out there, the WORLD'S BEST!)
I read over a few recipes and then created this concoction.
The before.
I ended up using only Roma tomatoes and shied away from the fresh pepper.

Roughly, the Ingredients:2 Romas, pureed in the food processor
6 Romas, chopped
1/2 Onion, chopped
1/2 Shallot, chopped
5 Stems worth of Cilantro leaves, chopped
3 Tbl. diced jalapenos, from a jar
1 tsp. Tabasco
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lime juice
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Mix everything together.
The after.
After everything was mixed together, I threw in some corn and black beans we had as leftovers and some chopped avocado. It turned out about like a mild salsa. Scott thought it was a little tomato-y, which was okay with me. Maybe more cilantro next time.

Yum! Looks delicious and I love that colorful tablecloth.
I experimented making my own salsa for a few months a couple years ago... It may sound strange, but try adding a little bit of BBQ sauce, I used Open Pit. My family absolutely loved it. Ended up making a few jars of it for the family.
MMMmmmm I love homemade salsa. Sounds delish. And everything is better with a bit more cilantro as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for the tip Cawby (I'm assuming this is Sean). I'll definitely give that a try with the next batch!
Yes it is Sean, lol... sorry, guess I could've let you know... I'm not gonna say it's a taste for everyone, but who knows... you may be a part of that niche. :-)
