How To Make salsa - award winning
-
Step 1Add the following ingredients to a food processor fitted with blade: white onion (peeled and quartered), peppers (removed of seeds),1/2 can of whole tomatoes -- pulse until desired consistency -- I like pretty small pieces
-
Step 2Pour contents of food processor into large bowl and combine with crushed tomatoes
-
Step 3Back in food processor, add remaining 1/2 can of whole tomatoes and cilantro. Pulse until cilantro is well distributed.
-
Step 4Combine tomato/cilantro combination with first tomato/pepper combination. Add can of crushed tomatoes, lime juice, salt, pepper and sugar to taste.
-
Step 5Serve or refrigerate for several days as needed.
-
Step 6Note: For chipotle peppers, I prefer to the dried kind if possible, but they can be hard to find so it is okay to use the canned ones in sauce.
-
Step 7Note: Change the number of peppers per your taste for heat. Removing the seeds helps keep the heat down so handle as you like.
