2 Cans S&W Tomatoes Petite-Cut – Diced in Rich Juice (S&W brand tomatoes are the best that I have found to use in salsa)
1 Cup of 1/4″ diced White Onion
6 Garlic Cloves – Crushed
2 tsp Kosher Salt
4 Medium Jalapeno Minced – Seeds and membranes removed
3 Serrano Peppers Minced
1 Habanero Pepper Minced – Seeds and membranes removed
1 Anaheim Chile
1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1. Drain the juice from 1 can of tomatoes. Put the tomatoes from that can and the entire other can (juice and tomatoes) into a large bowl.
2. Add the onion and garlic. Season with the salt and taste for balance.
3. Roast the Anaheim Chile over an open flame – bbq grill will work, or even just a gas stove. Blacken the outside of the chile then place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. Remove the chile and wipe off the blackened part. Dice the chile and put into a medium bowl with the jalapenos, habanero and serrano peppers.
4. Add the chile mixture to the tomatoes and onions one tablespoon at a time until desired heat level is reached. The heat will mellow over several days, so make it slightly spicier than you want it to end up.
5. Roast the cumin seeds in a dry pan until aromatic. Grind to a powder in a spice grinder. Add along with the pepper to the salsa.
6. Chill in refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend.

Our dinners come in either a “half order”, which is anywhere from 2 to 3 servings depending on the dish, or a “full order”, which is from 5 to 6 servings and for hearty appetites. A “full order” is approximately the size of a 9 x 13 casserole dish, and a half order is a little less than half of that.

We offer a new menu once a month, reflecting what is fresh and in season. As always, we are committed to providing you with only the finest ingredients and delicious food. If you have a particular request, please let us know and we will see if we can get it on the menu for you.

We are happy to take orders seven days a week and we can deliver Monday through Thursday at a time and place that is convenient for you. We may have some Friday and weekend deliveries available, but please check with us first and we can let you know if we will be able to accommodate your request.
