Salsa for Hyacinth!

Cantina Laredo Inspired Warm Fire Roasted Salsa

Ingredients:

2 (15 oz.) cans of diced fire roasted tomatoes (I like Muir Glen)

1 jalapeno (remove seeds if you like a milder salsa)

3 green onions, including green tops (I just trim both ends of each onion and rinse them)

2 small cloves of garlic, chopped

½ cup of cilantro, I usually just break off a handful of cilantro leaves

½ lime, juice only

¼ tsp. cumin

¼ tsp. oregano

¼ tsp. sugar

¼ tsp. salt

1/8 to ¼ tsp. black pepper, depending on taste

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour contents into sauce pan and warm. This makes a delightful warm salsa that is excellent with tortilla chips. Cantina Laredo, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Oklahoma City, serves a salsa similar to this one. I like to have both a warm salsa and a cold salsa.
