Mexican Salsa

[Landotter1]

I have been roasting my veggies in a fry pan so roasting in the oven is a good idea, I will try. You get the bulk of the heat from the jalapeno seeds so leave them in if you want more heat. Serrano peppers are really good and add lots of heat and what I like is that the heat doesn't hang around for a half-hour like jalapenos. Just a thought. I'll send you the bill for my new monitor... I ate mine while the salsa was on screen!!! :-D Cheers from Texas

[freitasex]

@Landotter1

Nothing wrong with roasting in a frying pan at all and thanks for watching!

[lilogboy14]

another guy who gets his salsa from NYC

[Landotter1]

@lilogboy14 Get a rope! :-D

[emiliog04]

Excelent salsa!!! i personally like my salsa as hot as possible, I'll try this recipe looks awesome.

[freitasex]

@emiliog04

Thank you, after this sits for a while, it is fairly spicy hot to me at least.

I will have a steak taco recipe/video coming up, just do not know when yet.

[emiliog04]

@freitasex Try fajitas Texas style with this salsa, i bed it's gona taste spectacular!!

[7circuitcity77]

how spicy would you say this is?

[freitasex]

@7circuitcity77

Your question reminds me of eating with a friend one day, I told him the hot sauce was not all that hot, he tried some on his food and practically spit his food out.

Spicy to some is terribly hot to others.

I like spicy and I consider this medium hot, if someone is sensitive to spicy, I would tell them hot.

Thank you for your question!

[nazarethc9]

[SweetDreams1430]

Hello there, it looks great but can i use regular tomatoes such as beefsteak? Thanks.

Yes that would work fairly well, thanks for your question!

[ONSITEAUTOBODY]

[MrSaantii16]

C'mon! You've sauce for 3 years hahahahahaha

I've a question, Can I do it with habaneros?

[freitasex]

@MrSaantii16

Sure, you can use any chilies that you like for sure!

[TheCharlywaffles]

@MrSaantii16 habaneros??? omg i am mexican and the habanero is very very spicy for me dude ,but yes u cant

[ytctma]

Try some rice vinegar instead of the cider.

[154arturo]

Muy buena receta paisa. Very good Mexican sauce , salsa receipe, greetings from Mexico.

[freitasex]

@154arturo

Thank you very much Arturo!

[definty]

WTF is a broiler?

[freitasex]

@definty

My oven or cooker has a place that heats up and you can bake in it.

It is electric with coils that heat up.

The oven also has electric coils on the top and you put your food up close to those coils and we call it broiling under the broiler.

I know we call the same things different names and hope that I explained it, if not ask again.

[definty]

@freitasex ahhh im from england, we call it a grill here. Thanks fro the explanation

[GLAMJAM272]

wow thank you so much for the video!

i made a list of all the ingredients i needed!!

thanks to you!

i'm an asian girl triyng to make salsa for my family

[freitasex]

@GLAMJAM272

[lok0605]

@GLAMJAM272 i suggest getting the recipe from a mexican and not this guy,weak ass sauce his making

[Hope4DreamKDE]

Is that how the make it in Mexican Restuarants?

[freitasex]

@Hope4DreamKDE

Probably not, but maybe in some, it is how I like to make it.

Hope you like it David!

[Bautonman]

@freitasex As a Mexican I approve of your recipe! :)

[freitasex]

@Bautonman

This gringo thanks you!

[lok0605]

@Hope4DreamKDE HEELLLL NO

[moewishaw]

youve blended everything, so it has lost the crunch, its now more of a puree!

[freitasex]

@moewishaw

I am not making pico de gallo, thanks!

[fuckinghotgirl4ever]

wooohhhhh i just saw a Mexican commercial

[xXxRegstrxXx]

Oh my goodness!!!! Thank you for sharing this video with us!! It looks SUPER yummy! I'm drooling over here!! I wish my husband would learn to cook! :D Thank you soooo much!!! I do have a question..Shouldn't the chilli and the tomatos be peeled before they're chopped and mixed? Also, i like how your recipe isnt so chunky but rather watery, the way it shoud be :)

[freitasex]

@xXxRegstrxXx

I do not feel that you need to peal, but you sure can if you want to do that.

Thank you for your question!

[xXxRegstrxXx]

@freitasex

Well thank YOU for answering :) i really enjoy your cooking videos! :D thanks again!

[wezzelman1]

Nice, i hope my mom likes it.

[alanizslp]

Great idea,thank you to share with every one.

[freitasex]

@alanizslp

I just made a batch again last week, put it up in canning jars.

Thanks for watching!

[ps1970tom]

Baking does intensify the flavor. I like to bake tomato together with fresh thyme, then remove the thyme after baking.

[freitasex]

@ps1970tom

Great idea, thank you!

[8888Eastman]

yesit does add flavor speacialy if you dot remove the burned part of the tomato it adds a smoky flavor

[12windki]

@freitasex I'm not a child u nitwit

[220warfrost]

@12windki Yah you are silly little kid:)

[12windki]

Hey fuck u

[freitasex]

@12windki

Well since you are a child and saying that, everybody knows that you crave attention, your poor thing!

[JPM32007]

I don't know if someone already asked this but why do put the tomatoes, jalapeno, etc. in the oven instead of just keeping it how it is? Just curious :]

[freitasex]

@JPM32007

Flavor is the reason, it does intensify the flavor.

Thank you for your question!

[HotSauceJohnny]

Looks great. Looking forward to giving this a try.

[donnyab]

EASY with the salt!

[zeelove8]

BRAVO!!! great vid, i really love ur cooking-toturials excellent straight to the point,, lovely presentation,,-love the classical music, excellent touch,,, thumbs up!*)

[freitasex]

@zeelove8

Thank you!

[TheeBobOv]

only 3 jalapenos for all that? you can definitely tell its a white guy

[Crpdeth]

@TheeBobOv Depends on the "white guy", I know Mexicans who would get sick trying to eat my habanero salsa! LOL =)

[MrWeekendvideos]

i am going to try this you are an awesome cook :D

[freitasex]

@MrWeekendvideos

Thank you MrWeekend!

[TheCarltondry]

Michael, I was going to make this and put a green bell pepper in for some colour. Do you thing that would work ok?

[freitasex]

@TheCarltondry

A green bell pepper would be fine and probably make this recipe taste even better.

Thank you for your idea :)

You rock!

[LT10megan]

does roasting the tomatoes, onions and garlin make the salsa hotter/spicier compared to unroasted ingredients

[freitasex]

@LT10megan

yes sort of... it helps to intensify all flavors :)

Thanks for asking!

[Stormclouds777]

Its nearly spring, and I already have onions, garlic, lettuce, swiss chard, cilantro, dill, shallots and spinach out in the garden. :D But this summer, when the tomatoes and peppers are doing their thing...I CANT WAIT to try this! We love Salsa, but weve never made our own. Favoriting this! Thanks again!

[freitasex]

@Stormclouds777

I double the recipe and then put in extra lime juice (cider vinegar is fine too) and put it up in mason jars.

Wow, you have great garden going, wish I was your neighbor :)

[Stormclouds777]

@freitasex Sounds very good! I really cant wait to try it! Yeah, We give all our neighbors fresh chicken eggs too. :D I will post videos of the garden when its in its prime this summer. Thanks again!

[jilijub]

My secret ingredient(well maybe not so secret) to any salsa is red-wine vinegar. And for some reason, if I use the home grown cherry tomatoes from my backyard, the salsa is a redder color and much more flavorful.

[freitasex]

@jilijub

I will try that, thank you for the idea!

[kanika1283]

what is chilpotle

[freitasex]

@kanika1283

Chipotle is a smoked jalapeno, then canned in a very spicy sauce.

[bluerocksMX]

hi im mexican if you like mexican food put 5 tomatoes 5 chilies SERRANO, cilantro, a few onion

[icantremembernumbers]

why can't you touch chipotles?

[freitasex]

@icantremembernumbers

With any spicy hot chili.... if you touch them much and then rub your eye or touch almost anything, it will sting.

Thank you for your question!

[Frchkn]

@icantremembernumbers Chipotle is just a smoked jalepeno.

[MobHeataEnt]

I used 10 Roma Tomatoes and 5 Jalapenos and it filled up to the top of the bowl, the bowl as about the same size as the one in the video. How did you use 30 Romas and only got that much tomato, I used 10 and it filled the whole bowl. This video is a little faulty. My Salsa didn't even come up hot nor mild, its weak. You have only 2 Jalapenos with 30 Romas and said it came out mild, I used 10 for 5 and added 4 more Jalapenos still not hot. This is the last time I'm taking steps from a white guy.

[trav022007]

cool i never thought of putting them in the broiler.

[freitasex]

@trav022007

I think it helps with flavor.

Thanks!

[MaryyMw]

Here in México for each 2 tomatoes we put 1 jalapeño

But nice video :D

i love you canal

[freitasex]

@MaryyMw

Sounds great, thank you!

[williafx]

Your cooking channel is my favorite on youtube! Can't wait to try this salsa recipe!

[williafx]

@williafx update, I did a little variation on this last night... using only 2 romas, 1 jalapeno, 4 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion, 4 chipotles, 1 tsp salt... no cilantro... man did this turn out smokey and tasty! Very hot!

[freitasex]

@williafx

I would say, yes very hot only 2 tomatoes with all those chipotles ... let alone 1 jalapeno again with only 2 tomatoes!

WOW!

Thank you for the very nice comment!

[popetown23]

No puedo creer qué me jor un gringo sepa preparar salsa mexicana que yo jeje.

[PBIronman]

We are going to make this salsa..... thanks for sharing :)

[DanBol8686]

According to the USDA's National Center for Home Food Preservation: "Salsas are usually mixtures of acid and low-acid ingredients; they are an example of an acidified food. The specific recipe, and sometimes preparation method, will determine if a salsa can be processed in a boiling water canner or a pressure canner. A process must be scientifically determined for each recipe. "

Many salsa recipes will spoil even if canned because of the content of the salsa. Be very careful!

[EBABE143]

Great video. Thanks

[mukwah1111]

You are so passionate about your food and do such a great job of filming your work . Its great of you to share your recipes, tips and techniques with us. Shine on and thanks so much !

[SICKDOG903]

those are serranos buddy not jalapeno..which is y u only used 3 because they are hotter than jalapeno

[TheFoolioz]

no one cares



[100vanz]

you can also just wrap the peppers and tomatoes in aluminum foil and jst put it on top of the stove well the flame!

[freitasex]

@100vanz

I wish my stove had a flame, it is electric :(

[frwgt350net]

Why are there no Mexicans in Star Trek? // They don't work in the future either!

[rouvers]

i would definitely love your salsa if not only you put it in an arenola. where the sick and bed ridden people pee and poop

[Krydom]

out all the videos i seen about how to make salsa this is the best one def...thanks a lot dude 

[freitasex]

@Krydom

Thank you very much, what a nice comment!

[woodpecka39]

Ditch the jalepeno and get habenaero, chilli extract, green Thai and red Thai peppers and mix you sone of that shit up

[abigailabigail]

Americans are funny ,like 20 tomatoes and 3 jalapenos lol, all this so call Mexican salsa videos are good for people afraid of jalapeno and the results (you know wen is potty time lol)

[Enderwiggan1]

made this last night - was delicious thanks

[freitasex]

@Enderwiggan1

You did, wonderful and thank you!

[curlyqstooge]

Man, that was a super nice recipe & video you did there. Great job & Thanks!

[freitasex]

@curlyqstooge

Wow, thank you!

[crazypoulada]

the best salsa recipe! For real!

[freitasex]

@crazypoulada

Wow, thanks!

[SnakeVipers]

courious... a mexican recipe on english... i like it

[freitasex]

Thank you, means a lot to me!

Gracias mucho!

[td866]

nice recipe! i mexican and make a similar salsa (no chipotle or vinegar though). i add a slice of fried bacon (1 for every six to eight tomatoes) to the mixture before blending.

[freitasex]

Thank you, and your version sounds delicious!

[mambomx]

Great music. What is it please?

[freitasex]

the music is Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 1 (3rd movement)

[thebluesfish]

Hmm. I am very biased since I use the way my grandma made it back in San Antonio. . .

Add a little sugar whenever you add vinegar. It counteracts the acidic taste. You want a salsa to be sweet and spicy, not sour and spicy. If you want less spice, remove the seeds from any peppers. Simmer the whole salsa for a while, it just does wonders for the flavor. I liked how you broiled the ingredients. I just toast them in a skillet, no butter or anything. Other than that, looks pretty good.

[freitasex]

Thank you for your advise!

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

[luvshugochara]

[ilikethewok]

Wow!! The hotter the better--thx for posting.

[freitasex]

[freitasex]

Yup, no preservatives at all !

[regamom3]

Thanks for posting!!! Salsa looks really yummy and so easy to make. Have a great week : )

[freitasex]

Easy, yes... I did heat up the kitchen quite a bit though.

[Perroquet51]

Perfect time of year to offer this recipe.

[freitasex]

Yes I do agree with that... I got them free, the tomatoes!

[silverscreamgrl]

: )

[freitasex]

Thanks Beth :)

[bertintowncenter]

LOVE SPICY!!! Flavor Rules !! Thanks for this recipe!! I hope ya get to see My vacation videos I posted on my channel. I even posted Take off and landings from my flights ( I was scared to fly) I overcame my fear of flying by making videos for Yall --please comment on the videos someday. Take care --

[freitasex]

Thanks Clyde!

[KARStarla]

Killer!! I was looking for a salsa recipe this will do it! How many pints did you get out of it can you tell me? Cause it looks like I might need to double that recipe, I faved this one, great job!

Have you ever made homemade tortilla chips to go with it?

[freitasex]

Well I only had 12oz jelly jars and I tripled this recipe and got 12 jars put up with about one jar left for fresh eating.

[KARStarla]

No thats perfect, Im thinking of canning "smaller" just in case refrigerating our darn food becomes too expensive lol Besides how many times is a large jar opened only to sit in the refrigerator way too long and the food go to waste? Too many times, I'm gonna get smart and do smaller jars of everything besides it helps you say "no" a bit more easily then overeating on stuff, a small jelly jar is just perfect I think.

Thanks kiddo :)

[LiquidFriction]

the seeds make the jalapenos hot lol

[freitasex]

Are you sure?

j/k I know.

[wolfydan121]

that looks great! i'll have to make it next time we have a bbq!

[freitasex]

Warm weather isn't too far away for you Wolfy!

[wolfydan121]

that it isnt! cant wait for spring to come!

[bashen745]

mmmmmm delish

[freitasex]

It did turn out great and hot!

[WillowBranchDesigns]

Looks crazy yummy!! It's amazing what a difference broiling or roasting the jalapenos makes.

[freitasex]

O I so agree with you!

[Lhancedl]

it looks so good..thanks for sharing!! :)

[freitasex]

I couldn't wait to make this because a co-worker gave me the tomatoes!

[DDog340]

Wow I'm Asian but that pretty damn good and it doesn't have rice or noodles in it :)

[freitasex]

Dustin!

Yes no noodles, it is a condiment to sauce mexican type foods.

[YMSFSFNDS]

This would go great on those quesadials and some taquitos and maybe some buritos! u deserve more than 5 stars!

[freitasex]

Thanks Chris, I look forward to anything you have to say.

I totally agree with you on the burritos too!

I just might make one deep fried!

[YMSFSFNDS]

even better! or both haha

[Jeerdin]

This looks like it would be a great side dish for a party with nachos or Even Quesadas! Use both Your recipies at once LOL And i'm a huge fan of Spicy foods so this looks really good...With some nachos, and cheese...awh i'm drooling already...

[freitasex]

Actually yes I agree with cheese and chips, it is a bit on the hot side after marinating together.

Some people would find it too hot I am sure, so I posted suggestions in the description/sidebar.

Thank you Jordan!

You are a favorite new subscriber to me!

[kent0149]

[gerald2003r]
