Traditionally salsas are made with tomatoes, chile peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, and fresh cilantro (coriander leaves).I found this to be more of a chunky sauce to top pasta. I never added the water and simmered for 30 minutes till thick. I did add garlic but kept to the recipe at first as I wanted to see the results. I did end up adding lime, jalapenos, and cilantro. I would have given it lower stars BUT it did taste good was great on pasta. And with the added ingredients it was good and more like a salsa!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that.
I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.
