This Salsa Roja is a mild salsa that pairs perfectly with your Venison Pupusas!

Salsa roja is a more tomato based salsa. El Salvadorian food is not the spiciest, but if you want some more spice you can throw in a jalapeño or Serrano (or even hotter but that’s too much for me).

It is a simple tasty salsa that you can prepare quickly before your pupusas and let rest in the fridge before eating.

Equipment

  • food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 5 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeño stem removed cut in half, and deseeded
  • 1 medium yellow onion halved
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon

  • Place tomatoes and jalapeño in a deep pan. Cover with water and bring to a low boil. Heat until tomatoes split.
  • Place halved onion on a baking tray and broil in the oven until the outer layer browns and chars.
  • In a blender, combine tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, onion, and garlic until it reaches your desired consistency. It can be as chunky or as thin as you like.
  • In a large saucepan heat 2T oil. Add your salsa, bouillon, and salt and pepper to taste. Combine.

This Pico de Gallo is simple and gets the job done, because boy is it good!

My family loves everything Mexican, so it was about time I got some staple foods under my belt. This recipe can be enjoyed with any dish or by itself. It is very tasty.

Make sure to add zest from one of your limes! It adds the extra “oomph” to take this recipe to the next level. Also, don’t forget to deseed your tomatoes or your pico will air on the watery side. This also helps it to last longer if you do not finish it in one sitting.

I hope you enjoy it!

I have never tried a mango salsa, but I have always wanted to! This Jerk pork recipe was the perfect opportunity to give it a shot. It has sweetness from the mango and pineapple while also having some spicy from the habanero. This salsa, which is a little more like a pico de gallo than a normal salsa, marries perfectly with the strong flavors of the jerk pork and is one of the more unique things I’ve eaten before.

This works on more than just the pork. I ate it as I would any other salsa, on some lime tortilla chips, and it was great there too! I could only assume it would be a great bright flavored side to accompany any Mexican dishes as well. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did!

Growing up in Texas you come to realize there should really be an extra category on the food pyramid strictly for salsa. Any good Mexican restaurant should have delicious chips and salsa waiting for you on the table when you arrive. Honestly, if I go to a Mexican restaurant and the salsa isn’t good, I just assume the rest of the food won’t be either. It’s not just restaurants though. One of our really close family friends delivers homemade salsa at Christmas time (maybe one day I’ll get them to send me over their secret recipe 😊)! Salsa comes with the Texas territory and any good Texan has their own recipe. I have tried and failed many a time to make a good salsa and I finally did it! Please enjoy this good oven-roasted salsa.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 Roma Tomatoes quartered
  • 1 large white onion wedged
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 large garlic cloves peeled
  • 2 jalapenos deseeded for less spice if desired
  • 1/3 cup cilantro

  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions

  • Set oven to high broil.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Place tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapenos on the baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Place in oven and roast until charred (~15 minutes).
  • Remove from oven and place vegetables in food processor. Pulse until you get a good chunky mix.
  • Add in remaining ingredients and pulse until combined and reaches desired consistency.
  • Add any extra lime and salt if you desire.
  • I prefer to refrigerate the salsa to flavor up more and chill, but you can serve it warm out of the food processor if you wish. ENJOY!
