Tomato Salsa


Salsa time! Enjoy with Tacos or Tortillas..

Ingredients

5-6 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 small green bell pepper or capsicum - (in whatever colors you get)
1 garlic cloves, finely chopped (if needed)
6 onions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh corainder leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeƱo chilis ( Pickled Jalapenos are available bottled in Nuts & Spices)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp olive oil

Method :

1. The secret to a good salsa is the right texture of tomato. The presence of seeds and fleshy centre part would make the salsa too liquid.
2. To seed the tomatoes, cut the tomato crosswise in half and squeeze each half gently over a bowl to remove the seeds. (OR) You can also cut the tomato in to two, place in the conventional pre- heated oven for 5 minutes. Take it out from the oven and scoop the centre part.
3. Toss the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate it so that it would be crunchy.
