Pineapple Express

Today was a milestone for Big Drew's BBQ. I have never been a big fan of salsa because it just never tasted good. Last week my pastor came to me and wanted me to provide some food of super bowl Sunday. I love to cook so I agreed. I made some salsa for the first time. I fed 159 people and the salsa was dynamite! The picture above is all that's left from about a gallon of it. Holding true to my different approach on cooking, I didn't make a salsa with tomatoes. What you might say, that's not salsa. Well I really don't care what you say, because you couldn't even tell. I used a pineapple base with green onions, red peppers, salt, cilantro, parsley, jalapenos, lime juice, chili pepper, garlic, paprika and liquid smoke. I still don't like salsa but this was off the hook!!!! It was a little sweet but not what you would think coming from pineapple. Kick was at the end, but it was so slow to get there that you actually got to enjoy the cilantro, garlic and flavors before the heat. When the heat did come it was mellow due to the lime juice. This is going to be a staple side that I will bring to parties and I also have a plan for it on smoked chicken!!! I will let you all know about that when I get there. Well happy super bowl day and good eating. I will be having my salsa with some nacho cheese. The Q is going as well! Eat well, live better and BBQ!
