GARDEN SALSA RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Place a griddle pan on a medium-high heat to warm up. 2. Once hot, carefully add the corn and cook for around 15 minutes, or until hot through and lightly golden all over, turning with tongs regularly for even cooking. 3. Remove to a chopping board and leave to cool slightly. 4. Hold the charred corn steady on the board using a tea towel to protect your hand, then carefully run a knife down the sides to cut off the kernels, then put the kernels in a mixing bowl. 5. Pick and roughly chop the coriander leaves, discarding the stalks, then add them to the bowl. 6. Cut the chilli in half lengthways. 7. Hold the stalk end of each half steady, then run a teaspoon down the cut sides to scoop out the seeds and white pith. 8. Finely slice half the chilli, place in the bowl (save the rest for another recipe), then wash your hands thoroughly. 9. Trim and finely slice the spring onions, then add to the bowl. 10. Chop up the tomatoes and add them to the bowl with a tiny pinch of salt. 11. Cut the limes in half. 12. Squeeze all the juice into the bowl, drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil and mix well, then serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and peppers; sauté, stirring often, until softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin, coriander and oregano; stir and cook, 1 minute.
• Add broth, chicken and beans; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate; let rest 5 minutes and then shred with two forks.
• Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in salsa verde, lime juice and cilantro; heat through. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
