Serves: 4 cups
Ingredients
  • 10 large tomatoes
  • 1 red onion (save half for later)
  • ½ large white or yellow onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ bunch cilantro, chopped (save ½ for later)
  • 2 limes, juiced (Leave ½ for later)
  • 1½ tbsp salt
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
  1. Boil a large pot of water. While you are waiting for it to boil, prepare your tomatoes by removing the core with a paring knife and cutting a shallow X in the bottom.
  2. Place them in the boiling water for about 2 minutes and then immediately plunge them into an ice bath (or cold water) so that you can handle them and gently remove the skins by pinching them.
  3. Add your skinless tomatoes to a food processor and chop into small chunks. Add them to a pot on the stove.
  4. Reserve half of the red pepper, half of the cilantro and 1 lime for later.
  5. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and puree.
  6. Add to the tomato mixture.
  7. Bring mix to a boil and then allow to simmer for about an hour and 15 minutes until salsa has thickened. If you are doubling, tripling or quadrupling this recipe you may need to simmer for longer. Stir frequently.
  8. Allow salsa to cool.
  9. Add remaining ½ red onion, ½ bunch of cilantro and juice from 1 lime to the food processor and puree.
  10. Stir this into the cooled salsa.
  11. Enjoy! Freeze any extra in individual containers.
