Revisiting the Memorial Day Green Tomato Salsa Recipe, as now we have some ripe tomatoes. Granted, they are 'Taxi,' which is not my favorite tomato by a long shot, but still. Ripe tomatoes.
So here is the recipe,
Green Yellow tomatoes – a couple
Garlic – plenty
Cilantro – a bit
Fresh peppers (Jalapeño is ripe now and perfect!!!) – how spicy do you like it?
Red onion – a few tablespoons
Lemon or lime juice – a few tablespoons till it tastes bright
Salt – to taste
Run it all through the food processor until coarsely blended, or chop it up with a knife and mix it in a bowl. Enjoy!
Delicious! The salsa does not look as pretty with the yellow tomatoes as it does with the green. The taste is great, though. A bit more sweetness due to the ripe tomato. I can't wait to keep trying this recipe with different varieties as the summer goes on - it will be different every time. But what will I do for cilantro? Mine is fading fast in this heat. I bought some more seeds but they won't be ready overnight. Maybe I will be able to find some at the farmer's market.
Ripe Tomatoes – ‘Taxi’‘Taxi’ is a yellow tomato, and the first to ripen in the garden this year. If they seem a bit green, leave them out on the counter for a day or two and they will ripen up nicely. We picked all the ripe tomatoes before yesterday evening’s windy rainstorm, or they would have all been knocked off the vines. Let’s eat them up! You could make yellow tomato salsa, same recipe...
Berries – I am disappointed not to have any berries in the bag this week. The mid-season blackberry variety is not performing well this year. Hopefully I can get some fruit off the next variety to ripen up. I will do my best
