ooooooooh yum!!!!

Where do you get raw corn chips?

[ruffsongraw]

from my dehydrator...haha! No really, the recipe is in Alyssa's book!
it's primarily raw corn, into the VM then dehydrated. adding seasoning to taste.

[asecretchord]

Do you think dehydrated potatoes would be just as good?

I love Salsa, here is what I make:

5 or so Roma tomatoes diced
1 small onion diced
a few cloves of garlic minced
about 1/4 red bell pepper chopped up
3 jalapenos diced small
about 1 cup of corn


sometimes I add cilantro or green chilies.. depends on what I have on hand, I dice everything by hand, makes it nice and chunky, if I want it juicier I use the FP...

Allissa's book is on the way so I can get that tortilla chip recipe!!!!

Ages ago I bought a salsa maker, it's basically a hand crank food processor so you can make salsa fast and not make soup like you would in a food processor. Here's four recipes that came with the thing that are still attached to my fridge.:

Mexican Salsa (2 cups)

2 Tomatoes, red and ripe
1/2 Onion
1 Clove garlic
1/4 Green bell pepper
2 TBLSP cilantro
1 Jalapeno (or as many as you like)
Salt to taste (garlic salt, optional)
1/2 lime juiced (or 1/4 lemon)

Crunchy Salsa (1-3/4 cups)

2 Tomatoes, red and ripe
1/2 Cucumber
1/4 Red onion
2 TBLSP cilantro
1 Jalapeno (or as many as you like)
Salt to taste

Avocado Salsa (4 cups)

2 Large tomatoes, red and ripe
1/2 Red onion
1/2 Cup fresh cilantro
1/4 Cup olive oil
2 TBLSP fresh lime juice
1 Jalapeno (or as many as you like)
Salt to taste
1 Large avocado

Chop and mix everything but the avocado. Add avocado just before serving.

Tropical Salsa (5 cups)

2 Medium firm ripe papayas
1 Medium ripe mango
1 Large firm ripe avocado
2 Small Serrano chillies (or 1 jalapeno)
1/2 Tsp grated lime peel (zest)
1/4 lime juiced
1/4 Cup fresh cilantro
Salt to taste

One more question.

How long can I freeze salsa for storage?

Hmm. If you have some left over you didn't make it right. :D

[asecretchord]

My lips are on fire!!! I made a lot of it.

Bumping. Anyone?

I don't know, freezing tomatoes and some other foods really changes their consistency when thawed. I used to freeze grapes until they had an ice cream like consistency. Love them! But one batch got completely thawed out and they weren't as good as regular non-frozen grapes.

Maybe freeze-drying? :)
