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.
