Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the Vegetables: Stem the Roma tomatoes, serrano peppers, and jalapeno peppers. (5 minutes)

02

Step

15 mins

Blanch the Vegetables: Transfer the prepared vegetables to a pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, for approximately 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened.

03

Step

5 mins

Cool and Drain: Carefully drain the water from the pot and allow the vegetables to cool slightly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Blend the Salsa: Roughly chop the white onion. Transfer the boiled vegetables, chopped onion, cilantro leaves, and salt to a blender or food processor.

05

Step

Puree to Perfection: Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky. (2-3 minutes)

06

Step

Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or cilantro to your preference. (2 minutes)

For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno and serrano peppers before cooking.
If you prefer a smoky flavor, roast the tomatoes and peppers under the broiler for a few minutes before boiling.
Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will meld together and deepen over time.
