Salsa - Deliciosa Mexicana Making Course

Salsa, which is Spanish for “sauce” is an essential part of Mexican cuisine. It is made with deliciously juicy, fresh tomatoes, chopped onion, lime, salt, pepper and cilantro. Essential ingredients for salsa, are jalapeno peppers and the devilishly hot, serano chilli peppers. These ingredients could be put into a blender and pureed , either raw or after the tomatoes and chillies are lightly toasted in an oven. Using the raw ingredients gives a fresh salad-like flavour to the salsa, whereas toasting the tomatoes gives the salsa a smoky interesting taste. The sweet and sour of the tomatoes , the tang of the lime and then the burst of the chilli peppers—-irresistible!
