Leah'S Easy Food Processor Salsa
Ingredients
- 3 -4 ripe roma tomatoes, quartered and seeded ⓘ
- 2 (16 ounce) cans plain diced tomatoes ⓘ
- 2 -3 garlic cloves, whole ⓘ
- 2 jalapeno peppers, quartered and seeded ⓘ
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch chunks ⓘ
- 2 limes, juice of ⓘ
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, stems removed, whole ⓘ
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper ⓘ
Instructions
- Put garlic cloves and jalapeno pieces in food processor (a blender can be used but will put a lot of air into the salsa and will not be able to be served immediately), pulse a few time until coarsely chopped.
- Place roma tomatoes in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 1 minute or so on high, then remove skins.
- Add diced tomatoes, lime juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times until everything looks well mixed.
- Add onion, roma tomatoes, and cilantro, and pulse just a few times until onion is at desire consistency. Adding onions at the end is VERY important, otherwise they will become pureed and make a gross texture for the salsa.
- If you want to remove the remaining metallic taste of the fresh tomato, cook over medium low heat in a non-reactive pot for about 15-20 minutes.
- For best flavor, refrigerate over night to let flavors mingle.
