Salsa Recipe

Part 1
1 head of garlic
3-5 cyranos (small jalapenos)
1-2 pesquillo (dark bell pepper)
2-3 jalapenos (cut out seeds under running water for more mild salsa...seeds at head)
1-2 yellow jalapenos
1-10 tomatillos (green with husk)

Put in a pan with oil and scorch until dark brown. After peppers are scorched or browned, put all the above indredients into a blender with a few cut tomatoes, and blend.

Part 2
2-3 green and/or red peppers
1 large yellow onion
1 gallon diced unpeeled tomatoes (we got this in cans)
2 Tbsp salt
1 large purple onion
1 bunch cilantro
2 limes juiced

Combine cut vegitables with puree and serve. Our friend said that sometimes he just puts the whole thing into the blender and cuts the time from an hour to ten minutes. And again, make sure you open all the windows and doors in your house and turn on fans and don't touch your eyes! If you think onions make you cry, this recipe will really make you weep! Hehahahh~! But it's worth it!
Some of the ingredients are hard to find, but make sure you get the cilantro and limes. Those are very important flavors that make this salsa so special. Enjoy!

Did you say "scorch until dark brown?" I don't think I'd have any problem with that! I'm getting forgetful and that fits right in! :) hahaha ♥
