Cook tasty salsa at home

 Salsa

 

And since I have not yet given a salsa recipe, here you go - a red tomato version, that is quick to throw together and much tastier than anything bought in a store.

Ingredients:

Tomatoes 500 grams chopped
Garlic cloves, 5
Onion, 1
Coriander 1/3 cup
Salt, to taste
Jalapeno, 1
Lime juice, to taste

Method:

Lightly cook the tomatoes on a tawa until they char a little - this should add a little depth of flavour to your salsa, although it will up the preparation time a little. Chop the tomatoes, and peel the garlic and onion. Chop the garlic, onion and jalapeno as finely as you can or if you have a food processor, use that. If not, blend in a mixer. Add in the coriander and lime, season and serve.
