Cherry salsaPosted Jan 2nd 2006 2:15PM by Nick Vagnoni I know, they're not local, they're not in season, but I picked up some cherries the other day. Most likely, they were from Chile. The flavor wasn't spectacular, and since the texture was slightly firm, I think that my best bet will be to make some cherry salsa. I've been doing this ever since I saw the recipe in a June 1994 issue of Gourmet. Their suggestion to serve it with pork tenderloin is a great choice, but I've often just made the salsa. It works great on grilled chicken or fish too. Perhaps the best use I've found is using it on a baguette with some of the cold leftover roasted pork. I've heard all sorts of tips and tricks about pitting cherries, but really, just get a cherry/olive pitter. You'll be much happier, and cleaner. [Photo Nick Vagnoni] |
