Instructions
 

  • Slice or chop the gooseberries to whatever size you wish to and set them aside in a mixing bowl.
  • Although I have mentioned one small red capsicum. I diced it in small pieces and used one fourth cup of it. Transfer to the mixing bowl.
  • Same for the onions, I used a small onion, finely chopped it which came to approximately three tablespoons. Transfer to the mixing bowl.
  • Add the pomegranate arils and finely chopped jalapeno / green chilli. You can adjust heat to suit your taste. Also add the chopped coriander.
  • Season the contents with salt and pepper and mix lightly so as not to bruise the cape gooseberries.
  • Taste and see if you need to add lemon juice or/ and agave / honey. Allow the salsa to sit in the fridge for twenty to thirty minutes for the flavours to infuse well.
  • Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips, crackers or with tacos. (It yields one plus three fourth cups)

Notes

  • I prefer to add salt ten minutes before I intend to serve it since I feel the salsa becomes watery otherwise.
  • This recipe is not specific and it is designed to suit our taste. Feel free to add or omit, reduce or increase which ever ingredient you dislike or like.
