Salsa

My absolute favorite salsa from a local Mexican restaurant, this is a long shot but would anyone happen to know the ingredients just by looking at it?

    I’d guess fresh tomato vs canned since I’m seeing a lot of seeds. Also something was broiled/roasted cos of all those lil black specs.

    Cilantro cos I see it. Same with onion, it looks raw.

    Lime juice and salt because literally every salsa needs that.

    That’s a starting point at least. You could always ask them what chili pepper type they use in it.

    Looks like there’s some oil in this, too.

    Some of the little roundish yellow things almost look like corn, but if there’s corn in there, there’s very little. That may just be coarsely chopped garlic.

    This looks like a pretty thing salsa, so there may be some water in it, too.

    There’s no way. But I can give you an idea if you describe the taste. Does it have a tang or vinegar taste?

    Check out epazote. It may be what is missing.

    Honestly just ask them to buy it. It will taste better and is probably cheaper. My local place sells a 20 oz cup for 5 bucks. Even at the cheapest way possible is $1.50 for a can of fire roasted tomatoes, $1 for green chiles, $1 for cilantro, $.75 for a lime. So that’s like $4.25. Nah I’ll just buy it lol. I know that’s not what you asked but if you didn’t consider asking them to buy some I figured I’d throw it out there.

    I think the char and some of the seeds we’re seeing are roasted tomatillos.

    cilantro, dash of vinegar, possible chicken bouillon cube

    It’s salsa not an atomic bomb. I’ll go out on a limb and say tomato, onion, garlic, jalepeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper. This is literally the ingredient list for every salsa.

    It’s boiled tomatoes with jalapeño peppers and roasted Chile de árbol (or roasted Japanese chiles) once boiled is “pulsed” in blender with garlic, transferred to a bowl with fined chopped onion, cilantro and salt. I usually make this to accompany caldo de res. Delicious!!
