Red Tomato Salsa

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat a skillet or comal over medium heat for 2 minutes. Toast the morita peppers for 1 minute on each side, or until they begin to soften and char slightly. Remove from the heat. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the stems and seeds.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, combine the toasted peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the vegetables and reserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid.

3. 3

   Transfer the boiled vegetables to a blender. Add the salt and pepper, then blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or to the desired consistency. If the salsa is too thick to blend, add some of the reserved cooking liquid.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the salsa and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

5. 5

   Serve the Red Tomato Salsa warm or chilled with all of your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
