1 no ingredients
Directions
1 cn whole tomatoes
1/4 sm onion
2 Cloves garlic
3 canned jalapenos
1 ts honey
This is a recipe for salsa that is very different. I got it from a
longtime artist friend of mine who lives in taos, New Mexico. I don't
usually measure ingredients when I make it so use your own judgement.
Take 1 can whole tomatoes and extract the juice into a food
processor. I open the can, pour out the juice and then squeeze the
tomatoes with my fingers to extract more. Add onion, garlic,
jalapenos (or more to taste), and honey to the food processor or
blender. Process until smooth. Add the tomatoes and just hit the
button on the food processor a couple of times to chop the tomatoes.
DO NOT process them. The salsa has a slightly sweet flavor due to
the honey combined with the hotness of the jalapenos gives it a
unique taste.

The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in cookery books, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Charlie's Salsa recipe.
