Salsa Borracha (Drunken Salsa)
 
 
If adding beer and tequila to your salsa sounds like a good idea to you, then you will LOVE this salsa borracha (aka drunken salsa). It's got all the bright flavor of the tomatoes with a subtle pop from the tequila.
Yield: ~5 cups
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 1 large jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lb tomatoes, cored, seeded, and coarsely chopped, juices reserved
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (12 oz) bottle of beer
  • ¼ cup cilantro, minced
  • juice of 3-4 limes
  • 2 tbsp tequila
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions, jalapeno, and garlic to the pot. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until onions are translucent and tender, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in the tomatoes, their juices, sugar, beer, and salt and black pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to simmer until thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender or in a food processor. Pour into a bowl and stir in the cilantro and lime juice, to taste. Add the tequila and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
