I'm usually busy being sarcastic, but I just wanted to say that this thread is amazing. I'd contribute something if my cooking abilities weren't comparable to . . . well, I can't think of any notably terrible cooks.
Edit: actually I can hit you guys up with a badass salsa recipe.
Here's what you need:
-29 oz. can of whole tomatoes, or another large-sized can
-1-2 7oz. cans serrano or jalapeno peppers. More cans for more spice. Serrano peppers for more spice.
-A decent amount of cilantro
-Some salt
-Some onion powder
-Some lime juice
Pretty simple to make.
1) Open the can of tomatoes and dump it in a blender.
2) Open the can(s) of peppers, drain it (with the lid on but cracked helps). Cut the stems off the peppers before you dump the peppers in the blender.
3) Add a decent amount of cilantro leaves (you can always add more later if you want).
4) Add 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp onion powder, 2 tbsp lime juice.
5) Puree that motherfucker. You can add more peppers, salt, onion powder, lime juice, or cilantro to taste, and puree that bitch again. The cilantro is really the most hit or miss with most people. Once you got the taste where you want, you've got 1/4 gallon of salsa approximately ready to be put into a sealable container.
Throw it on breakfast burritos, eggs, whatever you might throw bottled hot sauce on. If you're not afraid of a few fried tortilla chips you can grub out with those, too. Much cheaper than bottled hot sauce, too, unless we're talking about louisanna hot sauce or similar brands, perhaps.
Yes, there is a lot of sodium in the recipe. I don't think I've ever tasted a tolerable low-sodium salsa.
