On the spicy side salsa


Ingredients
10 large Roma tomatoes
1 large chopped white onion
4 jalepeno peppers, seeded, finely chopped
1 long green chili, seeded, chopped
2 tomatillo peppers, seeded, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1- 12oz can tomato paste
1/2 cup bottled or fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp oregano leaves
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Wash and boil tomatoes until skins began to separate.  Let cool.  Peel and remove core and seeds.  Place in a pot.  Using a chopper or food processor, chop onion and peppers. Combine remaining ingredients in the pot. Simmer over medium heat and stir frequently. 


She's being silly. This little munchkin couldn't stand to be in the kitchen when I chopped the peppers

Once you have homemade, you won't want to go back to store bought salsa. The best part of today's salsa was that Ethan (my kid who won't eat a single vegetable) loved it with his  tortilla chips.
