KEN’S RUSTIC SALSA
(SULLIVAN ROAD FARMS EDITION)
All ingredients available at Sullivan Road Farms
12351 Sullivan Road, Clermont,, FL 34715 Monday to Saturday 9am-3pm.
Because store-bought salsa just isn’t dramatic enough.
A chunky, smoky salsa bursting with citrus, herbs, and fire-roasted flavor—perfect for chips, tacos, or spooning over grilled veggies.
Ingredients
• 12 ripe, imperfect (but lovable) tomatoes, divided
• 1 large yellow onion (farm-grown, of course)
• 2–3 mild farm peppers (like banana or cubanelle)
• 2 bunches fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 2 Persian limes – zest and juice
• 1–2 tsp ground cumin (to taste)
• 1 bunch farm chives, finely chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Roast the Veggies:
- Halve the onion and peppers.
- Roast under a broiler or grill until charred and soft—about 10–15 mins. Flip occasionally.
- Optional: Add 6 halved tomatoes to the tray for extra smokiness.
2. Blend the Base:
- Add roasted veggies to a blender.
- Add lime juice, zest, cumin, salt & pepper. Blend to desired texture.
3. Chop & Combine:
- Dice remaining tomatoes.
- Combine with blended mix and chopped cilantro in a bowl.
4. Finish the Flavor:
- Stir in chopped farm chives.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Let It Rest:
- Let salsa sit at room temp for 20–30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Tips
• Want more heat? Toss in a roasted jalapeño or serrano.
• Need brightness? Add a splash of vinegar or a pinch of sugar.
• Like texture? Hand-crush with a fork for a rustic finish.
Salsa Wisdom (Fun Version)
• Tomatoes too ugly for TV? Perfect for this salsa.
• Roast your veggies like you roast your siblings—just enough to get a reaction.
• Blend until it is smoother than your best pickup line.
• Add cilantro like you are trying to cover a mistake.
• Let it rest, unlike your guests who will eat it straight from the bowl.
