Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients

  • ½ White Onion Roughly Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 lb Roma or Small Tomatoes De-stemed and roughly chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño Roughly chopped and seeds removed, optional
  • ½ cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 Lime Zested and juiced
  • ¾ tsp Sea Salt
  • ¼ tsp Cumin
  • Pinch Cane Sugar

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine the onion and garlic. Pulse until well chopped.
  • Add the tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, salt, cumin, and sugar. Pulse until combined but still chunky.
  • The consistency of this salsa varies depending on the water content of the tomatoes. If your salsa is too watery, strain half to all of it to remove some of the liquid. Combine the chunky strained mixture with the remaining salsa. If you still prefer a chunkier texture, strain out more of the liquid to reach your desired consistency.
  • Storage Instructions: Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors will deepen over time, making it even more delicious after the first day.
