Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Food processor
- Cutting board
- A good kitchen knife
- 1 large onion (peeled)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 jalapeno pepper (cored and seeds removed)
- 4 tomatoes
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hot sauce (optional)
-
Step 1
First, cut the outer layer from the onion and cut into quarters. This will allow you to place it into the food processor easily.
-
Step 2
Cut the jalapeno pepper in half and remove the core and seeds. If you like extremely hot salsa, leave a few seeds in, but the first go around, you should discard all of the seeds.
-
Step 3
Peel the outer skin from garlic cloves. You may use more than one clove--if you like garlic, 3 to 4 cloves are great!
-
Step 4
Turn the food processor on, and with blade running, drop in the onion quarters, garlic and pepper. Keep chopping the mixture until it is finely mined.
-
Step 5
Stop the processor, and add tomatoes, cumin, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Use the pulse setting and chop mixture until it is the consistency you want.
