Green Mountain Salsa

For the 2001 Lions Club Chili Cookoff in Woburn, MA

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 10 cloves garlic 8 jalapenos, stemmed and seeded 3 tomatoes, quartered 1 large bunch cilantro with large stems removed Juice of 1 lemon 2 teaspoons cumin powder Salt to taste

This salsa is very bright and not too hot. It is a crowd pleaser.

Chop garlic in food processor or blender, then add everything else. Chop until smooth and saucelike with only slight chunkiness. Let it sit in the blender for a few minutes. It may look pink-brown-greenish at first, but will turn bright green in color as the cilantro juice exudes into the sauce. Best when made fresh, chilled and served immediately.
