Restaurant Style Salsa

February 8

This is a recipe I got from the Pioneer Woman. She has some wonderful recipes and is a hilarious writer! If you've never been to her website, check it out! She blogs about life, cooking, photography, homeschooling, and home/garden.
I changed the recipe a bit. I can't seem to follow a recipe exactly. Maybe that's why I'm not a very good baker... 

Restaurant Style Salsa

Ingredients:
1 whole tomato (I left one out... I was planning on doing two. oops.)
1 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
1/4 cup chopped onion
A lot of minced fresh garlic (My cloves were really small, so I just kept adding garlic.)
1 whole Jalapeno
1/4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (I kept tasting the salsa and adding more salt as I went along.)
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 cup Cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
Chips- Tostitos Roasted Garlic and Black Bean. Fantastic. 

Combine all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to a desired consistency. I did mine more on the thin side. Test the salsa with tortilla chips. Do this several times. You want accurate results. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Enjoy.

Here is the printable for the Pioneer Woman's version.



I got this bacon from Mark, the manager/meat specialist in the meat science building. He asked what kind I wanted, "regular or peppered." Before he even finished saying peppered, I was saying, "PEPPERED!" This bacon is delicious. It's cured with water, salt, maple sugar, and brown sugar. Need I say more?
