peach salsa
This recipe calls for peaches, but you could easily use nectarines. Habaneros work well in this salsa instead of jalapeños, but beware, they’re spicy!
ingredients
-
4 ripe but firm yellow peaches, chopped (choice of skin or skinless, skinned gives better color but if skin is too thick or fuzzy you may want to peel them first)
-
2-3 tbsp chopped shallots or onions
-
2-3 jalapenos, chopped (stem, seeds and ribs removed)
-
juice of a lemon
-
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
-
2 tbsp grated ginger
-
1 teaspoon of sugar
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
special equipment
-
food processor
method
-
Place the chopped peaches, shallots, and jalapeños in the bowl of a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients. Pulse 2-3 times, just enough to break most pieces down and combine the salsa well. Don’t liquefy it.
-
Pour the salsa into a bowl and cover. Leave for an hour before serving to allow the ingredients to mix.
Serve with fries, fish, pork or chicken.
