My Pico de Gallo "Recipe"

[Eupher]

I note "recipe" because I don't measure anything. I do what looks right.

Make sure to steel your knife, or sharpen if necessary.

Roma tomatoes - about 8, chopped.
White onion - one-half, finely chopped
garlic cloves - about 4, through a garlic press
Jalapeno peppers - about 3, maybe 4, finely chopped. Pull out the seeds and the ribs
Limes - about 4, juiced
Cilantro - about a half-bunch, chopped
S & P to taste

Combine all ingredients and place in a tight container. Let sit overnight, if possible.

I like pico with just about anything - crackers, tortilla chips, whatever. It's a low-fat, flavorful condiment that'll get your attention (if the jalapenos are happenin').

Great recipe, I make a batch almost every week. I got out of the habit of adding lime juice, but it is a nice touch. I make a mild version, pull out a portion for my wife, then add more Jalapenos to the rest.

Sounds great, I would have to add a little apple cider vinegar. I like the extra little tang,

A followup to that pico de gallo "recipe" above. I must've gotten hold of some really FRESH garlic, because -- OMG -- that garlic goes from here to next week. Cut the garlic down to 2 cloves, please!
