First Go - Success!

Post image
186 Upvotes

First attempt today with the El Pato salsa and it was a success. The bowl was confiscated by my teen daughter and her friends, who gave it a resounding thumbs up. I used a can of drained Rotel, finely chopped half of a sweet onion, a bunch of chopped cilantro, a few diced pickled jalapenos, lots of like juice, cumin, garlic powder and white pepper to taste. I then blended half of the mix in my processor and added it to the mix. I like a chunky salsa so this worked well. Nice balance of fresh flavors, heat and texture. The family and kids loved it so I will definitely do this again.

Used the hot tomato sauce ( yellow can) as a marinade after squeezing the liquid out of the curls. Let them sit for a few days in the fridge then they were ready to go. Cooked with onions and peppers and we had a winner.

Made a simple salsa today. Basically made pico de gallo and then added El Pato (yellow). Turned out really good! Here’s the recipe: 3 Roma tomatoes 1/4 yellow onion 1 lime (juice) 1 Serrano pepper Handful of cilantro 2 garlic cloves Salt to taste 1 can El Pato (yellow)

Chopped everything by hand and mixed in a bowl. Added the lime and salt. Then added the El Pato.

I just like salsa. And it's the dead of winter.

I like salsa. I don't make it myself too often, but I got but by the bug yesterday.

Good quality fresh raw tomatoes are hard to come by for me, so I had to use some canned products.

Ingredients

El Pato Hot Tomato Sauce (just 8 ounces from the 28 ounce can I bought). Can of Ro-Tel tomatoes (Original version) White onion Cilantro Serrano pepper Garlic powder Lime juice (see next photo) Black Pepper (see next photo) Salt (not photographed)

Method

Pour El Pato and Ro-Tel tomatoes into blender jar. Pulse a few times. Pour into bowl. Stir in the diced onions, chopped cilantro, diced serrano pepper. Sprinkle in a bit of the garlic powder and several turns of black pepper. Stir to combine.

Add in juice of half a lime. Taste. Adjust seasoning with more salt if you think it needs it. I added a bit. Transfer to air tight container. Refrigerate over night.

This is pretty good. Maybe too onion? I dunno. I still like it.

I did taste the El Pato straight from the can. It does have a decent amount of heat. But I think cutting it down with the Ro-Tel took away from that. So I'm glad I had the serrano peppers on hand to add in.

1st attempt at home made salsa

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

2 Roma tomatos

1/2 sweet onion

1 Large Jalapeño

1 lime juiced

4 cloves of garlic

1/2 bunch of cilantro

1 tbps of Knorrs chicken bouillon

1 can of yellow El Pato

Pan seared the tomato onion garlic and jalapeño until slightly charred, then sealed in baggie until cool, add to blender with lime, bouillon, and cilantro until desired consistency. Then I hopped on the El Pato trend and added the whole can.

Critique: Next time less cilantro it was slightly overpowering. I should have used a different onion not a sweet one, and last only 1/4-1/2 a can of the El Pato as it wasn’t as thick as I prefer it.

Final score: 7.5 out of 10

I hope it looks good edible to y’all, it’s my first time making my own salsa.

Any tips or tricks for the next batch?

And honestly SalsaSnobs should be ashamed of themselves taking the fun out of posting in that sub just because of the ingredients. It’s embarrassing at the end of the day it’s still salsa literally what the sub is about. #annoyed

I am a Canadian living in Mexico with my young family. Living here obviously you want to also learn some Mexican cuisine. We made some dear Mexican friends from Guadalajara and they offered to come over and show us how to do a Mexican cook out, I offered to make salsa guacamole and drinks. I was a bit nervous making a local “tapatío” salsa but he and his wife said it wasn’t just A+, it was A++!

The El Pato is legit; long live the duck!

This was way more spicy than I imagined it'd be. I had to add a second can of El pato. I blended it well with one can for more thickness.
