What you should know about salsa sauces (salsas)

In the following report we would like to introduce you to the salsa sauce. Which ingredients are in the sauce and what does it actually fit? In addition, we introduce you to different variants of the famous salsa.

The meaning of the word salsa

The word salsa is Spanish and in English it means nothing else than sauce. Therefore, the term "salsa sauce" is strictly speaking a grammatical duplication. However, as it has been included in the vocabulary in our latitudes, it is also used in the following article. In addition, confusion with a Latin American dance, which also bears this name, are immediately excluded.

Which ingredients are actually in a salsa?

The most famous salsa is probably the tomato salsa. As the name suggests, the basic ingredient of this sauce is tomato. For your to actually obtain a salsa, however, you still lack many other ingredients. Crucial to the heat for which salsa is known worldwide is chilli. Also, peppers and onions make a real salsa. The original Mexican salsa definitely includes fresh coriander. But to complete the taste, you still need very important ingredients for the salsa sauce. These are the juice of a lime, sugar and salt. As an alternative to lime juice, you can just as well use the juice of a lemon. The ingredients for an original salsa are:

  • tomato
  • pepper (red)
  • chilli
  • coriander
  • lime juice / lemon juice
  • sugar
  • salt

Making a salsa sauce is really easy!

First you have to dice the onion. Of course, the peppers and the chilli peppers must also be cut into small pieces. Now you can put the minced ingredients together in a pot and briefly "sweat". Then you have to add all the other ingredients of the salsa in the pot and taste the salsa. At low temperature, the spicy sauce can now simmer for 90 minutes. Important: You have to stir frequently so you do not burn your salsa! Just before the salsa is ready, you should have a final taste. After that you just need to let it cool down before your own salsa is ready for consumption.

Are there any other derivations?

Yes, they exist. In Italian cuisine, for example, a salsa verde is very popular. This is fundamentally different from the Spanish and Mexican version. You can tell that by the color alone. Unlike the tomato salsa, the salsa verde has a green color. This is of course due to the ingredients used for the sauce. It consists of gherkins, capers, green peppers and herbs. Of course, for the Italian salsa Verde garlic should not be missed.

But there are also exotic variations of the salsa. In these varieties, fruits such as honeydew melon, pear and papaya are often included. These varieties of salsas taste sweet and sour.

Of the tomato salsa, there is also an Italian version, which is a bit milder than the Mexican. In addition to the chilli, this salsa is flavored with Mediterranean herbs such as basil and rosemary.

The most famous salsa is at a glance

  • The Tomato salsa
  • Salsa Verde
  • Sweet and sour salsa
  • Mild, Italian Salsa

What's the perfect fit for a salsa sauce?

The salsa is famous as a dip for tortillas. But you can also use it on many other occasions. The salsa sauce, for example, is a wonderful sauce for your next barbecue party. The spicy sauce really completes the taste of the grilled meat. But also, for rice dishes the salsa fits perfectly. Also delicious with a salsa are pasta and potato dishes. A tomato salsa gives your food a spicy kick. Not to be missed is the salsa, of course, from the so-called Tex-Mex cuisine. The name is composed of the two words "Texas" and "Mexico" and describes the regional cuisine of the area. The best-known dishes from this region are the wraps and the burritos. The green salsa verde goes well with potatoes and boiled meat. Since the fruity versions of salsa have a sweet and sour taste, they are great with poultry. Of course, the mild, Italian version of salsa goes well with many Italian dishes. For example, you can use it to spice up a tomato sauce. With this you can then brush a pizza or you eat them classically with pasta. You can also use this salsa in a Bolognese, for example. The dishes to which the individual salsas fit are summarized below:

  • as dip on tortilla chips
  • as a spicy sauce for grilled meat
  • for Tex-Mex dishes
  • with rice dishes
  • for pasta dishes
  • with potato dishes
  • to cooked meat (Salsa Verde)
  • to poultry (sweet and sour salsa)
  • in Italian cuisine (mild Italian salsa)

The conclusion of the salsa sauce is:

Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce. Therefore, the name salsa sauce is not entirely correct. The term has established itself in English-speaking countries. This is not least due to the fact that there is a dance of the same name. The most famous variant of the sauce is without doubt the tomato salsa. In addition to the tomatoes, it consists of ingredients such as peppers, chilli and onions. This is not the only salsa that exists. The Salsa Verde, for example, is not red but green in color because of the other ingredients. The salsa is also available with sweet and sour taste. This sauce includes exotics like melon and papaya. The exotic variation tastes delicious with poultry. The tomato salsa goes well with grilled meat. But also, as a dip for chips, it is delicious. This salsa sauce gives many other dishes a particularly savory taste. The green salsa verde, on the other hand, can be used as a sauce for potatoes, for example. There is also a tomato salsa in Italian cuisine, but this is much milder than its Mexican counterpart. Seasoned, this mild sauce is in addition to many Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and basil. The preparation of the original, Mexican salsa is really very simple. The ingredients are first cut and then put together in a pot and simmered for 90 minutes. Just make sure that you do not burn your salsa while it is cooking on the stove. Just let it cool off and there you have it - a finished delicious salsa sauce.
