Petin Salsa


condiments, salsa, vegetables

1 none

My recipe for petin salsa is a handfull(10-20) of petins, mashed in the molcajete or bowl, add 1/4 to 1/2 onion chopped, add salt to cover onion lightly, add 1/2 lime as juice, mash up some more to de-nature the onion, add chopped celantro leaves to taste(none if yur allergic), and 1 tomato small to medium, chopped. mash to consistency you like. Ageing one day improves flavor, and allows the lime juice and salt to make a vinegar that permeates the mix. I cheat and add some Ms. Dash or spices of the day for variety sometimes: try avocado and Grey Poupon or Gulden's Spicy mustard for that "What the HELL IS this stuff look" on your guest's face! They'll love it after they catch their breath..
