HOW TO MAKE SALSA EASY RECIPES

Steps:

• Place tomatoes into a colander set over a large bowl and allow to drain. Save drained juice to add back to salsa if it is too thick or save to add to soups or other dishes.
• Add chopped onion to a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside for 10 minutes, drain, and then rinse.
• Add garlic to a blender or bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped small. Scrape the sides, and then add the drained tomatoes, drained and rinsed onions, peppers, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the juice of half a lime. Pulse until your desired texture. Taste, and then season with additional salt or lime juice. (We typically add 3/4 teaspoon of salt).
• This salsa improves with time so if you have the option, set it aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more before serving. Store in the refrigerator up to a week.

Steps:

• Cut the onion in quarters.
• Cut the tomatoes in half.
• Cut the stems off the chiles, slice in half, and remove seeds.
• Peel the garlic.
• Add all of the ingredients except the cilantro and salt to a large pot.
• Add just enough water to almost cover the ingredients (about 4 cups).
• Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to low. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Blend all of the ingredients including the cilantro with the cooking water (blend in 2 batches).
• Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in the same pot over medium heat.
• Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Adjust the salt to taste.
