This homemade spicy corn salsa (Broke Bank Vegan) is a super-simple recipe that is far more interesting than the plastic-wrapped pots of tomato salsa in stores. Ideal to serve alongside Mexican food, this features natural fresh foods including corn. A fiesta of flavours including poblano pepper, red onion, lime juice, coriander and sea salt. Chill the dish for a few hours to thicken, then serve with burrito bowls, tacos or tortilla chips.
Before cooking, read up on kitchen safety for people and pets. Keep fresh corn-cobs away from pets, they are choking hazards.
Be careful, when handling chilli peppers. It’s best to wear gloves. But whether you do or not, don’t touch your eyes until you’ve washed your hands. Or you’ll know it!
Like all the recipes profile on this site, making your own simple plant-based recipes is peaceful politics in action. Supermarkets and big food brands will continue to sell inferior expensive and often ethical food in plastic packaging, until we make alternatives ourselves.
