Puddy Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have decided to make steak fajitas tomorrow. Already had NY Strips thawing but they will be good until Monday or Tuesday. Making my own salsa tomorrow to add some flavor. Here is the recipe I will try: 8-10 fresh Roma tomatos 2-3 fresh Jalapeño peppers 1 small to medium Poblano pepper 1 Lime (juice only) 1/2 Orange or Tangerine (juice only) 1/2 bunch Cilantro 1 large red onion Put one jalapeño pepper and three tomatos in a blender, along with lime and orange juice, and blend on the lowest setting. Then add the cilantro (I prefer to separate the leaves from the stems, but some people don’t bother), sufficient tomatos to fill the blender 2/3’s full, and finish blending. Put the remaining peppers and tomatos in a hand-operated food processor and cut them up coarsely, and add them to the mix. (If you don’t have a hand operated food processor, you can use a knife to dice them by hand, or you can just blend them like the rest.) Chop the onion finely and add it at the end. This isn't my recipe. I found it searching the internet and changed a couple of things. Hopefully it will be tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good - I'll be taking a swing at salsa this week - I found the first ripe tomatoes in my garden yesterday. Let us know how this turns out.

Kid Cid Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I smoked a batch of rainbow trout this morning. Had pulled pork sammich for lunch. I'm thinking about taking Ms Cid out for dinner this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 I need to try smoking some fish. Maybe I'll like it better if I smoke it myself. Care to share your method? Marinate? Type of smoke smoke? Temp? TIA! My vote was for pulled pork this weekend, but the Mrs. wanted ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Ribs are on the pit, beans started, fresh corn to be husked and friends coming over at 6. Here's to summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well the salsa is very good. Not too hot but with enough kick to let you know it's around. Got rave reviews from the neighbors we had over for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
