Chi Chi's fresh salsa recipe?!


Question: Chi Chi's fresh salsa recipe!?
Does anyone know the recipe for Chi Chi's garden fresh salsa!. It was the one they introduced about 6 yrs!. before they closed!. It had cilantro in it and I think oregano!. It was juicy, not chunky and thick like their other two when they first opened up!. Anyone know if they plan to reopen any time soon!? Many thanks!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I got this from a friend who knows a friend!.!.!.!.!.!.who worked at Chi Chis many years ago!. The salsa then called Fresh Garden Salsa!.


15 Roma (Plum) tomatoes- fresh!. Dice (always this kind of tomato-because of the texture)
1 bunch of cilantro including stems-chopped fine with food processor, mini chopper or knife if you have to!.
1 large onion diced
2 fresh serrano peppers (habaneros will be too hot, jalapenos too mild)
3 cloves of garlic peeled
1 bunch green onions chopped (green and white parts)
2 limes or about 1/4 cup of lime juice (microwave the limes for about 30 seconds to get more juice and then roll them on a cutting board before cutting and squeezing them)
1 tbsp salt
3 tbsp!. cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp garlic powder or granulated garlic
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp!. sugar

After dicing tomatoes, put about 1/3 of them in a blender with the serrano peppers, garlic, lime juice and all of the spices!. Blend them until it is a pinkish orangish looking thick liquid!.!.!.it looks pretty gross!. Mix it back into the rest of the ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

okay folks, i've been working on this!. i too am going through withdrawl here!. follow jon's earlier recipe:
20 lbs Roma tomatoes (put through a meat grinder with 1/4" plate)
5 lbs Roma tomatoes (hand diced)
3 lbs white onions (hand diced)
1 packet of the ingredients (12 oz)

for the spice packet (this has been trial and error) use:
dried cilantro
garlic powder
msg
powdered jalapeno
kosher salt (tip - if you get the taste close, but it is just a little off, keep adding salt)

you are going to have to do it to taste - i don't know the exact amounts yet, but i made a batch this weekend that was perfect (but since i kept doing it to taste, i have no idea how much of what i put in)!. if you try it, let the mix sit at least overnight after you mix it up!. good luck all!Www@FoodAQ@Com
