Lets do the Salsa!

| Labels: , ,


There you are in the produce walkway. And you find a huge, vibrant, evidently ripened and succulent pineapple.  You try to walk past, but it buzzes ‘buy me’, who could resist?
But now that I have gorgeous fruit in my refrigerator, what do I do with it swiftly?
This pineapple, salsa is one of my much-loved recipe. I totally adore the balance of the heat and sweetness in this dish. And it hardly takes any time to get it ready.
Why the sugar? It helps to pull out from juices from the fruit, as well as to balance the power of Serrano and jalapeno. Feel free to mishmash any other peppers.
This salsa is a grand equal for any meal. With its hearty, fruity, tang, this gorgeous salsa will power your meal from the start to finish.
1 cup diced fresh pineapple,
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion,
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro,
1 tablespoon sugar,
2 tablespoon finely minced Serrano chillies,
2 tablespoons finely minced jalapeño peppers,
2 tablespoon juice of fresh lemon,
Pinch of salt
Mix together all the ingredients and refrigerate for over an hour for the flavours to mature.

Cherry Tomato Salsa

| Labels: , ,

We girls decided to do nothing this weekend but to watch movies the whole day and binge on our favourite Doritos. To express our spirit for the weekend, we got in all the flavours of Doritos from the cool original to tangy cheese, ofcouse it would'nt have been complete without our favourite, the chilli heatwave. My growing tomato cherry plant gave me an itch to add fire to the chilli heat wave on this hot afternoon.  I decided to make salsa out of these,  I must say, this turned out to be my new favourite salsa recipe. The sweetness that came from the cherry tomatoes went perfectly well with the fire from the peri peri red chillies.  Incredibly easy to make and too good to taste!!

INGREDIENTS             
About  4 cups of cherry tomatoes,
1 small onion, finely chopped,
1 clove minced garlic,
2 peri peri red chilles,
½ tsp salt ,
½ tsp freshly ground pepper,
2 tbsp lemon juice,
2 tbsp olive oil,
Few sprigs of fresh cilantro leaves to garnish.
Put all the ingredients in a blender, pulse till the time mixed but  still chunky.
Transfer into a small bowl. Let it sit for about an hour. For the flavours to mature to its best, leave it refrigerated overnight.

Notes from me: Deseed the chillies if you want just the flavour and not the fire.

Cucumber Salad

| Labels:

On a hot summer afternoon, when I think of something fresh, something crunchy salad straight from the produce stands, I think of CUCUMBERS and when I think of cucumbers, the first thing that comes to my mind is REFRESHING!! The sourness from the vinegar, the crunch from the onions, above all the appetizing flavour from the cucumber, this salad is both flavorful and sweet.


1 Cucumber                
2 Shallots, juilienned
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
Salt and pepper to taste


In a mixing bowl, whisk together, sugar, vinegar and salt.

Peel the cucumber and slice it.

Add the shallots and the cucumbers to the bowl with the vinegar and toss to mix.

Serve Chilled.
