Salsa Puree

For Christmas I received a Magic Bullet, and the first thought of testing it was to make Strawberry Daiquiris. This plan was hampered by a lack of rum in our house, and at the liquor store. Who would have thought there’d be a rush on rum on New Years Eve?

Next test idea, salsa. The plan was to have nachos and cheese for dinner, with a little fondued meats, so salsa made perfect sense. Plus we had most of the ingredients except for fresh cilantro, which was easily fixed.

First attempt, Salsa Puree. I managed to get the Magic Bullet stuck in the lock position. The ingredients were a little more blended than I wanted, but boy did it taste good.

Second attempt, I tried the “Shake ‘n Pulse” method described in the manual. My technique needs a lot of work. Ended up with part puree part big chunks of tomato.

Third attempt was a little more pulse and a little less shake. This again resulted in a puree. Tasty but not the consistency I was looking to achieve.

Luckily all of these attempts were tasty and we ate up all the puree that I created. Tomorrow we shall try again (fajitas for dinner), allowing me to practice my “Shake ‘n Pulse”
