It was a fun (and hot!) couple of weeks for Omni Equestrian Summer Camps I and II. Camps included daily lessons, course design, preparation of horses for a show and care of tack, as well as a "horseless horse show." Camp riders then participated in the Chemung County Fair Show which Cassie Panton helped to run.
For pictures go to www.omniequestriancenter.com and the "Gallery" Page for the link to the "Summer Camps and Fair Show Slideshows and Web Gallery."
Cassie not only cares for all of the horses at Omni and instructs lessons but somehow also manages to find time to cook gourmet food that she shares with Omni riders. We've had many requests from people who want Cassie's salsa recipe which she has generously shared below:
Cassie's Salsa
Start with some dehydrated onion (chopped) to keep it from being runny
2 cans dices tomatoes w/green chilies
2 cans organic whole tomatoes (I like Muir Glen) juice in salsa then process
2-6 cloves garlic - don't be shy!
1 bunch radishes chopped
1-2 onions -any - clean out fridge!
1-2 cans chopped green chilies
1 sweet pepper chopped
1 bunch cilantro chopped - stems have great flavor so use em with 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
1 cucumber peeled and chopped (I use burpless srapped in plastic)
2-4 fresh jalapenos diced
3-4 stalks celery diced -optional
2 carrots diced - optional
leemon or lime juice or red wine vinegar
salt (pref Kosher) & freshly ground pepper
Dump some dehydrated onion into a big bowl (ie 1/4 cup), drain tomatoes & add to bowl (chop if not already done so,) add everything else in order. Cucumber is great for cleaning out your food processor. If you want "heat" add I can serenos or jalapenas (juice in salsa then process) or a great cheater is Mrs. Renfro's green salsa - it's very hot and can be added for consistant heat by the spoonful to taste (wegmans or tops.) Red hot blues available in the organic section are a real treat esp w/guacamole.
You can make amazing quacamole by adding salsa & a little mayo to ripe (soft) avocados with a pinch of ground coriander and mash with a fork. Enjoy!!!
