My husband came home raving about this home-made salsa that he had at work. So, he got the recipe from his co-worker Jason.
2 cans (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes in tomato juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded if desired, the seeds offer more heat) and finely chopped
Chopped fresh cilantro to taste
Chopped green onions to taste
Red pepper flakes to taste if more heat is needed
Place the tomatoes, salt and vinegar in a food processor or blender and give it a few pulses. It is better if some tomato chunks remain. Remove from the blender or food processor. Add the jalapeno, cilantro and green onions to the food processor bowl. Give it a couple of pulses. Add this mixture to the tomato mixture and if more heat is desired, add some red pepper flakes to taste.
Refrigerate overnight and serve the next day.
Makes a big batch
Note: The amount of cilantro is considerable but not everybody likes cilantro so, it is up to you. I love cilantro!
You can reserve some tomatoes from the can, chop it and add it at the end so the chunks will give a better texture to the salsa.
