Title: Cutting Board Salsa
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

21 lg Clove garlic
2 Jalapeno chiles (or 2-3 bird
-chiles); (2 to 3)
1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
-(lightly packed)
3 tb Chopped fresh mint; (3 to 4)
1 lb Garden fresh tomatoes
1/4 ts Salt; or to taste
Juice of one lemon

You will need a large cutting board. On a large cutting board, chop the
garlic and then the chiles. Add the parsely and mint and continue to chop.
Slice and then chop the tomatoes, adding them to the pile of other
ingredients. Mix as you chop by turning the salsa with the flat of your
knife or cleaver. Mix in the salt. When all the ingredients are
well-chopped, put the salsa into a small attractive bowl and blend in the
lemon juice. The salsa will be quite runny, ideal for being sopped up with
flatbreads. Yield: approximately 2 cups

NOTES : Our household name for this fresh Kurdish sauce is "cutting board
salsa" because all

the ingredients can be conveniently chopped together into one large pile on

a cutting board.

Chopping the ingredients together is an excellent way to blend and to

distribute the different

tastes and flavors. Serve as a dipping sauce for bread or a side with

grilled kebabs. The quantity

of chiles used in the following recipe produces a salsa that is somewhat
hot

when eaten all by

itself - adjust according to your own taste.
