How to Make Blender Salsa

  1. Roughly chop 1 lb ripe tomatoes and 2-3 chiles (serrano or jalapeño, depending on desired heat level).
  2. In a small saucepan, simmer the chopped tomatoes and chiles in 1/2 cup of water for 10 minutes over medium heat. This softens them for easier blending.
  3. Drain the tomatoes and chiles, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  4. Transfer the cooked tomatoes and chiles to a blender.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped white onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender.
  6. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid (or more to reach your desired consistency).
  7. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
