Honi's Homemade Salsa
Servings: 20
Equipment
- Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 28 oz canned tomato (whole or diced)* not "Italian style"
- 1 c cilantro leaves & stems packed
- ½ onion large
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½+ jalapeño cored, more or less, depending on spice level
- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice about 1/4 lime
- salt
Instructions
- Prep vegetables: cut tomatoes (if using fresh) and onion into 1 inch chunks, to assist the food processor. Smash and remove paper from garlic cloves, and core/deseed the jalapeño.
- Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice to food processor and blend until smooth.
- Sample the salsa. Add more jalapeño/jalepeño core (see Honi's note in the post)**, cilantro, or lime juice as desired and blend again. Add salt to taste.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
*Of course, fresh is always better. But good tomatoes can be hard to come by. Sub for 4 medium beefsteak tomatoes if you would like.
**I suggest starting with 1/2 jalepeño. You never know how spicy they'll be until you blend it up.
