Okay, so we have used lots of wonderful gifts already, but tonight we debuted the "quick chef" courtesy of the Andaas family. It is quite the handy contraption. A quick stop at the closest grocery store for a few items put us on the path to try this little guy out. The closest grocery store has a very strong Mexican influence... and by influence I mean that no signs are written nor employees speaking the English.
Perfect, we'll grab our Manchego cheese and a few tomatoes and be on our way. Oh yeah, and we are out of salsa.
Por favor, senior, donde esta la salsa?
Salsa? No, no tenemos.
Argh. Oh hey, Elizabeth gave us that salsa maker thing. We can probably try that thing out.
And so we did. Started with an array of fresh ingredients: onion, lime, green pepper, roma tomatoes, garlic, cilantro.
Added a few pantry staples: balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika.
Coursely chopped and added to the bowl.
Adam squeezed some limes for their juice.
Crank the little handle on this bad boy for a few minutes and you have yourself some mighty fine pico de gallo.
We put some in our quesadillas and still had WAY too much leftover. So, if you work with us, you will be eating this tomorrow.
Nice work, Youngs! So glad the Quick Chef (or as I call it, Mr. Chopper) was a success! Thanks for the shout out! I LOL at the part about "not speaking the English!" Tu son muy divertido!
