Classic salsa sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products according to the list. Onions can be used white onion or red. Choose ripe, fleshy, juicy and fragrant tomatoes. The taste of tomatoes will largely depend on the taste of the sauce.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and dry the tomatoes with paper towels. Peel the white or red onion from the husk. Cut them into large slices. Place on a baking sheet, sprinkle a little with refined sunflower oil with a high smoking temperature. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance and bake the vegetables for about 30 minutes. You can add garlic cloves if you want to get a milder taste of salsa and jalapeno pepper.

3. Step 3:

   

   Take out the baked vegetables, cool a little and put them in a blender bowl. If you don't have a blender, scroll the vegetables through the meat grinder.

5. Step 4:

   

   Add the remaining ingredients: salt, lemon juice, cumin seeds, chopped coriander greens. Remove the seeds from the hot pepper and also send them to the bowl. Adjust its amount to your liking, but do not overdo it. Keep in mind that the sharpness of the sauce will manifest over time, so keep a sense of proportion. Scroll through the content until smooth using the ripple mode and pausing every 10 seconds. This is necessary in order to evaluate the consistency of the sauce.

6. Step 5:

   

   That's it! Classic salsa is ready! Taste it. If you want, add grated fresh garlic (2-3 cloves), add salt to taste, you can sugar a little if the tomatoes are sour. Pour in lime or lemon juice (about 1 tbsp. l.). It will soften the sharpness of the sauce. In general, bring the dish to your usual taste.

7. Step 6:

   

   Serve the resulting sauce to meat, fish dishes, baked poultry and game, or you can just with bread, pasta, potatoes, tortillas or chips. The sauce can be served immediately to the table or stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
