This authentic Mexican tomato salsa recipe is very easy to make. It sure is easier and a heck of a lot quicker to reach for a blender, but we love the chunky, rustic texture of salsas made in a molcajete, or traditional Mexican mortar. And spices ground against the rough black basalt give off truly potent aromas - which make our meals all the more flavorful.

Are you getting hungry, yet?

Char the tomatoes over a gas grill or under the flame of a hot broiler for a few seconds, turning them until the peel blisters. Slip off the peel, and the flesh will still be firm. Remove the green stem core and cut the tomatoes in half vertically. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds.

In the food processor, turn the motor on chop first and drop in the garlic, cilantro, green onions and jalapeños into the bowl of the food processor to chop for just a few seconds.

Turn off the motor and scrap down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula.

Add all the remaining ingredients from the tomato salsa recipe, tomatoes, Anaheim chili, the chopped green chilies, olive oil and lime juice . Process with brief pulses to reach the desired texture, somewhere between a chow-chow relish and a textured puree.

You want to see bits of all the vegetables through out the salsa.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Pour into a serving bowl and allow to season for approximately one hour.

Just before serving mix in the 1/4 cup of ice water to cool the salsa.

Serve with tortilla chips, enhance your favorite chicken recipes, fish, barbecue beef, or with beans wrapped in a tortilla.

Answer 3

Okay, you want authentic? There is a secret step...

Quantities of ingredients will depend on how much salsa you want to make...

like, 4 Tomatoes

1/2 or 1 full Red Onion

1/2 cup finely cut cilantro (most important!)

juice of 2 limes

teeny bit of garlic (a clove or two)

3-4 Jalapenos (the secret here is to simmer the peppers halfway submerged in water until the water evaporates. when the water is gone, cut the jalapenos in half removing some of the seeds. if you like it mild throw in about a 1/3 of the seeds from one pepper, if you like it hot throw in the seeds from 1- 1 1/2 jalapenos)

be sure to dice everything very fine. if you have a food processor even better. this is a very basic recipe. feel free to improvise by adding black beans, corn, green (or any color) bell peppers, mango, pineapple, chipotle peppers (very hot!).

if you can't find jalapenos (don't know why, but you never know) you can substitute serano chiles or half (i say HALF) of one habanero pepper.

add the end add about a 1/2 tablespoon of salt. add more if you want. be sure to taste everything along the way.

good luck!
