Salsa Recipe?
Hey, I'm looking for a recipe for homemade salsa. Something traditional and rustic that I can make either hot or mild for a party I'm going to soon. Any recipes would be welcome, but please, nothing with any weird ingredients like West Virginian Papaya juice as I live in Germany and there isn't a big calling for that here. LOL

Okay, Here's one I make for my family. It's our real Traditional way of making it, not a cut and paste.
This one we call Pico de Gallo. Pronounced Peekoh-Deh-Gah-yo
First you need:
5 Tomatoes. (I like to use Roma, but any red ones will do)
Cilantro Bunch
1 Jalepeno pepper
1 white onion Med. Sized
Salt for taste
Rinse veggies off, then dice the tomatoes. Throw them in a bowl. Chop the cilantro up (don't be afraid to use the stems, Its actually one of the only herbs that you can use the stems as well as the leaves. They are full of flavor.) Dice up the Onion, I usually do the pieces small. Dice the jalepeno pepper up in small pieces. Throw it all together, put some salt to taste. Its very simple, but very authentic.
This one is a little more time consuming, but it very worth the while. Take all of the same ingredients. Grab a hot non stick pan. and turn the heat on medium. place the tomatoes, and jalepenos(not cut up, Whole) on the skillet so as to kinda crisp the outside. Turn them every few minutes, as they will get charcoaled on the outside. They will get black and sizzle. (part of the process.) After once they are toasty and kinda darkened, dice the cooked veggies, along with the raw ones, and throw together with some salt. It has a smokey flavor, with some heat to it. I do that when we have parties, but its worth the time. Good luck.
i use roma tomatoes, red onion, red and green peppers, cucmbers, fresh garlic, a little lemon juice, salt and fresh cracked pepper, cilantro....i dont care for spicy foods so this recpie is definitely very mild

Alright. I've been making this since I invented it at fourteen, and have been using it since. I love it, my dad prefers it over several mexican restaurants, it was a hit at a party I had... here we go.
-1 can of whole tomatoes.
-1&1/2 tablespoons of diced onion.
-almost a teaspoon of garlic powder
-Chopped jalapenos (get jarred)...like, five of the pieces, depending on how spicy you want it.
-a pinch of cayenne pepper (literally. Take a pinch of it.)
Dump out half of the juice in the tomato can, then put the rest of the juice and tomatoes in blender. Then put the garlic powder in the blender, and the cayenne, and the onion, and the jalapeno. Then blend to the desired chunkiness (I like it between medium and thin, so...)
This is great because the spiciness depends on how much jalapeno you put in. If you don't put enough in the first time, just add some more and blend again. Try this one. Really. I have been looking for recipes ever since I started loving salsa, and THIS IS THE RECIPE YOU WANT!!
3 large tins diced tomatoes
4 onions, chopped
1 each - red, green and yellow bell peppers, chopped
2 jars hot banana peppers, chopped
2 tbsp salt
2 cloves crushed garlic
cilantro (to taste)
1/3 cup of pepper juice (reserved from the banana peppers)
Put all ingredients except for reserved pepper juice in large stock pot and simmer for 1-2 hours. Add 4 tablespoons of cornstarch to reserved pepper juice and add to stock pot to thicken. Pour into jars and seal. Enjoy!
Note: the more banana peppers you use, the hotter your salsa will be. Also, the longer it sits in the jars, the more "flavorful" it will become.
