Green Tomato Salsa

The weather forecast for tonight is possible frost in outlying areas. Oh, my! I still have a lot of tomatoes and bell peppers growing in my garden. I'll have to cover my garden tonight. I've tried a couple of green tomato recipes. The first was for a green tomato breakfast cake. I wasn't very impressed with it. But I have developed a green tomato salsa that I like. You can adjust how hot the salsa is with your choice of chili peppers. Most of the heat is in the seeds, so you can also choose to include the seeds or not.



Green Tomato Salsa
makes approx. 2 cups

2 med. green tomatoes, cored and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 med. yellow onion, diced
3 chili peppers, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. water
2 tsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. oregano

1. Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, chili peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, olive oil and water in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

2. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust seasoning if desired. Cool completely.
