This is just one of over 9,000 recipes we've collected since early 1996. Many of these recipes have been passed down from family member to family member and then shared with friends and then, with Mike Pitzer's Salsa Recipes. When it comes to recipes, the real secret is that all of our recipes always have been, and always will be free!

Ingredients:

  • 1 garlic clove peeled
  • 1 to 3 whole jalapeños, deveined and seeded (Optional to taste)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup ice water

Directions:

  1. 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 tsp to scoop out the seeds.
  2. 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.
  3. Turn off the motor and scrap down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula.
  4. 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 purée.
