Leah's Easy Food Processor Salsa

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

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
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 put garlic cloves and jalapeño 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.
• 2 place roma tomatoes in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 1 minute or so on high, then remove skins.
• 3 add diced tomatoes, lime juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times until everything looks well mixed.
• 4 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.
• 5 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.
• 6 for best flavor, refrigerate over night to let flavors mingle.
