Typical Costa Rican meals start with an assortment of appetizers: picadillos, or mixtures, of cooked, minced vegetables; tubers served with small tortillas; and dips presented with crispy tortilla chips. Few Costa Ricans would add jalapeƱos since, in general, Costa Rican food is mild-but some like it hot such as the Costa Ricans living along the Caribbean coast, who love hot habanero chiles. You can make the salsa ahead, and add the avocado and cilantro just before serving. | |
1/2 cup | onion, finely chopped |
3 cups | tomato, seeded and finely diced |
1 to 2 cloves | garlic, minced or crushed |
1/2 large | sweet red pepper, finely diced |
1 to 2 tsp | jalapeno, finely chopped (optional) |
1/4 cup | fresh lemon juice |
2 tsp | brown sugar |
salt, to taste | |
2 | avocados, ripe, peeled and diced |
2 to 3 Tbs | fresh cilantro leaves, chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except avocados and cilantro in medium-sized bowl, and stir gently. Set aside, and chill, if desired.
2. To serve, combine avocado and cilantro, and stir in gently with other salsa ingredients to mix well. Pass with crisp tortilla chips.
