Salsa Cruda - Your raw jalapeno and tomato salsa
Salsa Cruda
- 3 or so large, very-ripe tomatoes, peeled (drop into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, plunge into cold water, slip off skins) and quartered.
- 1 medium onion, peeled, tips removed and quartered.
- several garlic cloves, peeled, crushed and passed through a garlic press.
- 2 or 3 jalapeno peppers, de-stemmed and quartered.
- 1 small bunch cilantro, rinsed thoroughly and blotted dry, roots removed, coarsely chopped.
- kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- extra virgin olive oil to taste - at least several ounces.
Place ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until desired smoothness. (For a very smooth salsa cruda transfer to a blender and process on medium.) Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve your freshly made salsa cruda with homemade taco chips.
