Salsa recipesA spicy relish or dip served cold salsa de hongos made from chopped tomatoes, onions, chillies and peppers. Perfect with tortilla chips or spooned liberally over nachos.

Most supermarkets sell fresh ready-made salsa as well as mild or hot salsa in jars, but the flavour is never as good as that of homemade salsa. It’s easy to make either a coarse salsa with just a knife and chopping board – alternatively, for a smooth salsa, whizz the ingredients in a food processor. Serve salsa with tortilla chips and dips such as guacamole or soured cream, or use it as a sauce or for topping pasta or pizza. Fruit salsas made with mango or pineapple go well with grilled fish or chicken. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
