Salsa (by Kim)

1 large can of plain, chopped tomatoes (I used crushed)
2 fresh, ripe tomatoes, chopped (don't use seeds or pulp)
1 small can diced green chilies (mild to hot depending on your taste)
4 large cloves of garlic, crushed
A few shakes of dried oregano
Fresh Cilantro--start out by adding 1/4 of the bunch and add up to 1/2 of the bunch according to your taste (use only the leaves; discard the stems)
Mix all together and chill
This recipe is a matter of taste; add and subtract things to your liking.  Sometimes we add chopped scallions.

Salsa (by Leigh

(Note:  Leigh doesn't measure so make it to suit your own taste)

Chopped tomatoes
Chopped red onions
Chopped Jalapeno peppers
Chopped Cilantro
Chopped yellow and green peppers
Add a little canned tomato sauce (uncooked)
Salt and pepper to taste
Make ahead of time so the flavors marinate.  Use cucumbers instead of chips for a nice crunch and refreshing taste!

Tamara said she would add lime to the recipe to give it the tartness that is missing because we cannot use vinegar.  She also has a Goya product she likes that does not have vinegar called Salsita.  Says it's very tasty and spices things up a bit.

Thai Green Curry Paste (Kim)

You can buy Thai Green Curry Paste in most major supermarkets and many specialty markets, but why would you? Using fresh herbs and spices, roasting the cumin and anise seeds, letting the smells waft through the house, is what makes a curry special.

6 Serrano Chiles, seeded and chopped
3 Garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, chopped
2 Fresh Lemongrass stalks, chopped
3 Scallions, chopped
¼  cups lime juice
3 tablespoon Lime zest
½ cup fresh Cilantro (stems and leaves), chopped
1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
½ teaspoon. Ground Anise
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
½ teaspoon Fine Ground Sea Salt

 Note: Be sure to remove the hard outer layers of the lemongrass and only use the lower, bulbous portion of the stalk. For best flavor, pan roast cumin, coriander and anise seeds and grind in mortar or pestle.

 Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend to a paste.  Add more lime juice if needed for paste consistency
