Quick Fix Spicy Salsa

Sheesh. I had no idea. I’ve made homemade salsa a number of times. It wasn’t terribly difficult, but it wasn’t crazy easy either. I started looking around for a better way and kept hearing about a spicy tomato sauce that people were using as a base for making salsa. El Pato tomato sauce is apparently the key to easy salsa success. So I grabbed a few cans at our local international market and got to making this quick fix spicy salsa. This isn’t fancy, but boy does it ever hit the spot. Perfectly tomato-y, perfectly spicy and with the just right amount of cilantro and onion. And wow is it ever easy to make.

The Only Salsa That’s Easier Comes From A Jar

It seriously takes you longer to read this sentence than it does to make a batch of this quick fix spicy salsa. Ok, well, you’d have to be a crazy good onion and cilantro chopper, but it’s probably possible. Don’t let the simplicity fool you either, this salsa has great flavor. I found it very difficult to stop eating it. Just grab a bag of your favorite tortilla chips and make a batch today!

Smoked Sous Vide Country-Style Ribs

I’m a big fan of country-style ribs. In fact, I grew up eating them regularly. My mom has a recipe she’d make where she’d cover the ribs in paprika, broil them for a bit of color, then finish them by baking them in sauerkraut and carrots. I could eat them all day long. That’s why I was so intrigued by the idea of smoked sous vide country-style ribs. The end result reminded me of just what it is: smoked, tender, juicy pork shoulder. Crazy tender and juicy. And just the right amount of smoke too. I serve these ribs on top of (you guessed it), kraut and carrots.

Smoked Perfection

I wasn’t shy with the BBQ seasoning on my smoked sous vide country-style ribs. First, they needed some color when they came out of sous vide. You know how that is if you sous vide meat. It isn’t exactly pretty. So I covered it in rub and put it on my smoker over apple wood. I was very happy with the end results.

I use my Anova immersion circulator for this and any other time I need to sous-vide. It’s easy to use which is a good thing for me!

I use an Anova sous vide cooker. It’s my immersion circulator workhorse!
