Texan Picante Sauce - Part 1 - Tomato Preparation Recipe Video
We don’t buy in a jar any more! I make a big batch and freeze in smaller zip lock bags. I keep Real Texas Picante sauce in a glass container all the time in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
3 lbs fresh Roma Tomatoes
2 Poblano Peppers
2 Banana Peppers
2 Jalapeno Peppers
3 medium Sweet Onions
3 cloves fresh Garlic
3 tablespoon fresh Thai Basil, chopped (You can use any Basil)
2 tablespoons Wine Vinegar
Directions
I always choose Roma tomatoes as they are best suited for making Picante Sauce. It is good to spread out the tomatoes on a towel to ripen, instead of keeping them in the plastic bag. Tomatoes become moist and get spoiled when kept in a plastic bag. Dice the tomatoes into approximately 1/4" cubes. Don’t waste anything when slicing tomatoes, even the top and end of the tomato can be used. Slice the tomato approximately 1/4". Cut the slices into small cubes and then put them in a large pot.
