User:Derf/Derf's Salsa

This is an easy salsa recipe I've developed over maybe 15 batches. Add whatever peppers suit your spice tolerance. I generally split a batch in half and do half with ½ habanero for my wife and half with ½ ghost pepper for myself, depending on what I grew this year.

Ingredients

• 3 small tomatoes
• ½ Habenero or equivalent (preferably roasted)
• 2 clove garlic
• 1/3 large bell pepper
• 1/2 medium onion, roasted
• 1 can Rotel, drained
• 1 can tomato sauce
• ½ cup white vinegar
• ½ tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• Small sprinkle of cilantro

Recipe

1. Blend tomatoes, habanero, garlic, and bell pepper in a food processor until a paste.
2. Mix the blend and all other ingredients in skillet; heat and mix until paste is smooth.
3. Simmer for 4 minutes.
4. Take off heat and cool overnight to let flavors mix (important!).
5. Spoon off any separated liquid from the top and serve.
