Roma Tomatoes
My new friend and neighbor, Melania McCarley, from Dallas, Texas made us this recipe this weekend and she told us it was “killer”.
Once we tasted it, we completely agreed – Wow! Amazing pico…
Melania is originally from Costa Rica where they call this mixture chimichurri.
Try it – you’ll love it – I begged her for the recipe so I could share it with you, and be able to make it whenever we want now!
Melania’s Killer Chimichurri – aka Pico de Gallo
Ingredients:
4-5 Roma Tomatoes – Finely chopped
2 bunches Cilantro – Finely chopped
1/2 large Red Onion – Finely chopped
4 Key Limes – Juiced
3 Chili de Arbol – Finely minced
Sea Salt – To taste
Pepper – To taste
Instructions:
* Tip: Melania instructs that the key to this recipe is hand chopping – never blending or using a food processor. Hand chopping ensures the right texture of the finished product and allows the flavors to meld naturally.
Once you’ve combined all of the ingredients in a large bowl, allow this mixture to sit in the fridge or on your counter for a few hours covered.
That way the juices come out and really make it a great pico.
Serve with tortilla chips, fried yucca chips or pita chips!
* Tip: Try using it on your burgers hot off the grill instead of ketchup and mustard. You’ll be glad you did!
