Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 to 4 md. firm tomatoes
  • 1 can (1 lb.) tomato sauce
  • 1 md. onion
  • 1 to 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. lime juice

Method

  • Cut the end off the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds and slime.
  • Coarsely dice the tomatoes and onions.
  • Halve the jalapenos and remove the seeds; set the seeds aside (do not discard).
  • Finely chop the jalapenos.
  • Combine the above into a bowl with the tomato sauce, garlic, and lime juice; mix well.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then chill before serving.
  • Taste the salsa to determine if it's hot enough for your taste, if it needs a bit more fire, crush the seeds from the jalapeno(s) and add a bit to the salsa.
  • Keep in mind that it will get a bit hotter anyway as the ingredients marinate.
  • Keep adding until you're satisfied with the intensity.
