Hi! Welcome back to KumoCafe and to our newest episode of Cooking With Us!

We had the pleasure of having Nee, Jim, and Rosie over again, and this time we learned how to make Nee's Famous Salsa!

Awesome friends are the Awesomest!!





You too can learn how to make this gorgeous looking salsa to the left.

All you have to do is watch our super-terrific video in which Nee shows us how to make it!  
(So Simple!)
And then scroll down for a picture blog!  
As always the recipe and transcript will follow. :)

Enjoy!


Oh yeah, and as always, High-Res and Full Screen this bad boy below! :D






Thanks for watching that! I hope you enjoyed it almost as much as we enjoyed making it!
 (And eating the results - Yummy Yummy!)


First, gather round your friends who have awesome cooking skills!


Particularly the ones who make salsa so good you call it Famous :D

For this salsa - you're going to need approx 10 large jalapenos, a LOT of Thai chilis, approx 7 habaneros, and approx 7 hot peppers that none of us knew the name of - The Bishop's Crown!
Also - 2 heads of garlic, 2 white onions, and a few avocados.


This is what The Bishop's Crown looks like :)


 Then in large slices - cut up your onions & all your peppers.


De-shell your garlic and add it to the pot.
Yes I see that Rosie was making weird faces at this point in the video ;)



Everything (aside from the Avocados) goes into a large pot!
As well as a bunch of cilantro.


Add a fair amount of salt to the pot.


See?  That's a lot of goodness in there!


Add enough water so that it just covers the pepper mixture.
Then cover it and bring to a boil.


Always take a moment to wave to your fans ^^


Once everything has cooked sufficiently, let it cool for a bit...


Isn't that a good-looking spoonful of deliciousness?
And yes, it goes into the beloved Ninja!!

 
Add a little more than half a cup of olive oil.


And half a cup of Chicken soup base mix!


Yeah, you heard me right! Granulated Chicken Flavor Soup Base Mix!! :D


And you know, it never ever hurts to add a fair amount of the much adored fish sauce!!


Then smile like a crazy person happy girl because you love to watch the Ninja in action!
Hey, Nee is smiling too :D


Then taste it and be amazed!


Make sure to have a strange smirk on your face while you count the avocados Nee adds to the mixture.  (She added 3 halves).


What joy! More salsa for the masses!
We also added in a bit more of the pepper mixture.


Then put Jim on the spot - weird effect on the Yummy Yummy but I like it! :D


Then of course, enjoy your darn good salsa!!


After trying to say 'Goodbye' in Thai, of course :D


And a mandatory shot with the Brigster! :D


Want to feel even more jealous? This was our delicious dinner! Pork chops by Jim (so good)! and brussel sprouts + asparagus + peppers + garlic side by Nee :D
Potatoes by ...whoever makes pre-made potatoes :D


Recipe:
- 2 Large white onions
- approx 10 large jalapenos
- approx 7 habaneros
- approx 7 bishop's crown pepper (or similar hot pepper)
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 2 heads of garlic

Chop and put into a large pot. Add salt, and cook to boiling.
Cool, then add as much as you can into your Ninja. Also add a little over half a cup of olive oil, and about half a cup of granulated chicken stock flavor. Don't forget to add Fish Sauce!
Obliterate it.

Add as many avocados as you like (we added 3 halves), and even more of the pepper mixture
Obliterate it further.

Enjoy with chips :D

Below is the transcript!! :)

Ciao for now!

The main ingredient is all the peppers that we make.

Jalapeno, thai pepper, this one is thai pepper too but it's a tiny one...

habanero, and this one is, I forgot what they call it, but it's very very spicy.

It's sort of like a Trinidad Scorpion.

I mean look at this.

Onion, avocado, garlic and uh..
Cilantro.

So we're doing two, two white onions?

Yeah two white onions.

And - how much cilantro? You should normally have what? A bunch. A bunch of it? A bunch of cilantro.
