5 Minute Homemade Salsa: Secret Ingredient - Hungarian Wax Pepper
The Hungarian Wax Pepper, is a wonderful pepper. Although it looks a lot like a Banana Pepper, it is hardly the same. The to easiest way to tell a Banana Pepper from a Hungarian Wax Pepper, other than tasting it, is the tip of the pepper. The Hungarian Wax Pepper is rounded. As far as flavor goes, it is considered a mild-hot pepper, not a sweet pepper like the Banana Pepper. This guy, about 6 inches in length, is the secret ingredient to my homemade salsa (recipe below).
Salsa:
3 cans petite diced tomatoes OR 4 cups diced Roma tomatoes
1 Hungarian Wax Pepper
3 jalapenos
1/2 Yellow Onion
6 leaves fresh Cilantro
3-4 cloves garlic
garlic salt, to taste
Dice the peppers, onion and cilantro. Mince the garlic. Add all the ingredients to the tomato, then add garlic salt to taste.
