Ingredients
8 tomatoes (I use Roma)1 bunch cilantro2 limes2 small onions (white or yellow)3 cloves garlic1 pepper (I prefer habanero, but jalapeno works for less spice)1 tbsp olive oil1/4 tsp sea salt1/2 c vegetable broth
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Peel the onions, cut in half, and slice into thin strips. Peel and chop garlic. Add both to pot.
3. While onions and garlic are sauteing, rough chop tomatoes. Set aside.
4. Chop pepper into small chunks; add to onions and garlic. Let mixture saute until onions begin to brown -- they should look a little burnt.
5. Add tomatoes, vegetable broth, and salt. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes. While this is working, juice limes into a small bowl and rough chop cilantro.
6. Remove from heat. Pour into blender, add lime juice and cilantro, and puree. Serve warm or refrigerate (once cooled). I would keep for 5-7 days, but I usually eat mine in the first couple of days!
Serving Size: Makes 1 quart of salsa (16-1/4 c servings)
Number of Servings: 16
