I know this really isn't related to the BGE but here goes anyway. Does anybody have a good salsa recipe that they would like to share. I didn't see any posted in the recipe section. By the way I have a large BGE that I have had for about 2 years and absolutly love it!

    Chas from MO,
    If you got to the New West Knife works site and click on their Salsa recipe, I don't think you will be dissapointed.
    It isn't a "traditional salsa" but is REALLY good.
    I made a batch up last weekend, and it was a real hit.
    Trt it and let me know what you think.

    Chas from MO,
    Here's what I use, from the Coyote Cafe cookbook, by Mark Miller. Simple and very tasty.[p]2T diced onion
    2C tomatoes, chopped into 1/4 inch cubes
    2 serrano chiles, finely chopped
    2T finely chopped cilantro
    2t sugar
    1/4 cup Mexican beer
    2t salt
    juice of one lime[p]Put onion in a strainer, rinse with hot water, and drain. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.[p]Note: More sugar may be used if the tomatoes are acidic, but make sure the salsa does not taste of sugar.[p]
    Makes about 2 cups.

    Chas from MO,[p]This recipe is top notch. Use garden fresh tomaters for the best flavor.
    16 cups tomatoes,peeled & chopped
    4 cups onions,chopped
    1 cup Jalepeno peppers,chopped & seeded
    1 cup white vinegar
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 cup salt
    3 tbsp garlic powder
    1 1/2 tbsp chilli powder
    1 tsp black pepper
    2 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp alum
    2 cans green chilles-sm. cans
    2 tsp cilantro
    2 cans tomato paste-sm. cans
    Combine all and cook 1 1/2 hours in large pot on simmer.
    Makes about 1 gallon of salsa.
    For thicker salsa (I recommend)draining some of the water after simmering.[p]If you try it you'll love it and make it again[p]Mark
