This semester I'm in a great class that I'm so excited about called food preparation. 3 hours of lecture and then actual hands on cooking which is so much fun. It makes me want to go to culinary school more and more.
Anyways, the first day that we actually got to cook in was basics so we made a tomato salsa!
It was a pretty simple first class. We cut up 4 tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of jalapeno, 1/4 cup of minced scallion, 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, and about 2 tablespoons of lime juice. I think we added a splash of tomato juice to thicken it just a tiny bit and added salt to taste.
It was a really good salsa. Actually it was the first salsa I've ever made so I'm pretty proud of myself. Not that it was a difficult recipe but small steps!
