The way to a Man's Heart

We are still on the subject of commitment but this time through food. Unfortunately, I never take pictures of my food so I have none to share. Instead maybe I'll share a recipe.

Just as a background, I'm Filipino and the hubby is Hispanic, although ever since he's lived in the P.I. for 3 years he's been a Pinoy-wannabe. In fact, he says "Us Asians needs to stick together". And I tell him when did he ever become an Asian. Last time I checked, his parents are Spanish speaking and swears to high heavens that their ancestors are either white Hispanics or Indians. Not a drop of Asian there. But he insists that since I married him and our daughter was born in Manila that makes him an Asian as well. Okay, whatever right?

Now, I've digressed. My point is that he is Hispanic and I took the effort to create my own recipe of Pico de Gallo aka salsa. He seriously loves and thinks that my Pico is uber good. Coming form a Hispanic, I consider that a high compliment. Here's the recipe:

2 large tomatoes (4-5 of the regular tomatoes as we know it in the P.I.), seeded and diced small
1/3 of an onion (if you like more onions go ahead and add more), diced small
1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)
Handful of chopped cilantro
1 lime (or you can use ~ 1 tbsp of concentrated lime juice)
Salt and pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into a bowl. Cut lime in half and squeeze juice out onto the ingredients, Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together. You can add more lime juice if you want it a little tangier. Adjust to your own taste.

This is great on tacos, fajitas burritos or anything you would want to pair it with. Enjoy!
