Are you ready to enjoy a homemade salsa that is every bit as spicy and delicious as it is chunky and smoky? Some people like smooth, pureed salsa, while others prefer the chunky salsas that you make in a molcajete. Is the salsa imperfect? Yes, but it’s also perfectly chunky, smoky, and full of flavor. Not everything that you make has to look like a work of art. Sometimes, foods or dishes that don’t satisfy everyone’s aesthetic appeal taste the best! That’s how we feel about this salsa.

A molcajete, in case you are unaware, is the Spanish word for mortar and pestle. The name comes from the Aztec words that translate to “seasoning” and “bowl.” A traditional molcajete varies slightly from your average mortar and pestle, though. It is made from volcanic rock and the hard, rough surface makes it easier to grind spices or mash different ingredients, for example, the pan-roasted ingredients for this salsa. Just make sure that you don’t add all of the ingredients to the molcajete at once. Start by mashing the onion and garlic, then follow that with the jalapeño.

Once you have a smooth paste of onion, garlic, and jalapeño, you can add the tomatoes, one or two at a time. Don’t overcrowd the molcajete, or you’ll have tomato juices flying all over the place. Add your chopped cilantro, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper and mix to combine. Serve with some sturdy chips that can support the weight of this homemade chunky salsa. It’s got a little kick, but not so much so that it overpowers the rest of the ingredients. If you like a spicier salsa, add two jalapeños!

When people make rice, it’s common for it to have no flavor. Quite frankly, it’s a bland side dish, but that’s not always a bad thing. Sometimes, the entree is saucy and those flavors smother the rice, comforting it in their richness. Other times, though, the rice plays a bigger role in the dish. In the case of a burrito bowl, for example, rice is the featured ingredient. You don’t want bland rice in that scenario, so that’s why you use this cilantro lime rice.

Cilantro lime rice is a flavorful dish that is an excellent side dish, burrito bowl base, or even a filling entree. Besides the rice, the two most important ingredients are fresh cilantro and lime zest. A long grain rice, like Jasmine or Basmati rice, is preferable for this recipe. The picture does show brown rice, which is also an acceptable rice to use.

You can make rice in a rice cooker, but this rice dish requires a saucepan. If you find a way to make this in a rice cooker, please reach out and let us know how it turned out. The point of making it in a saucepan is to toast the rice and add another dimension of flavor. The most important instruction in this recipe is to add the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro after the rice fully cooks. You don’t want to cook those ingredients with the rice, or else it will be bitter.

Chickpeas belong to the legume family and have an inherently nutty flavor. They pair well with many flavors and cuisines, and they can easily take on different spices and flavor combinations. Chickpeas contain a lot of protein, fiber, manganese, and folate. Because of the dietary fiber, chickpeas may prevent you from overeating. They help to slow digestion and promote feelings of fullness.

We are very excited about this plant-based ceviche. We wish it was raw vegan, but it is not; however, this is an excellent post-cleanse recipe as you transition back to regular foods. While it doesn’t take that long to prepare all of the vegetables, it does require soaking time to allow the flavors to get to know each other. You want that first bite of this ceviche to pack a zesty punch, so the marinating time is paramount. The result is a colorful, beautiful appetizer that has wonderful textures.
