Ingredients

400 g tin chopped tomatoes (I use Napolina)
2 green medium-hot chillies stalk removed (I use the green ones from Tesco Mixed Chillies - See Note 1)
1 small onion skin removed and quartered
2 cloves garlic skin removed and roughly chopped
5 g fresh coriander (AKA cilantro) roughly chopped
Juice of ¼ lime or to taste
½ teaspoon salt or to taste

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend.
Taste and add more lime and salt, if needed. (See Note 2)
(Optional) For ‘next level’ salsa, place a frying pan over a high heat for 1 minute. Tip the salsa into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-5 minutes.

Notes

I recommend using 2 medium-hot chillies in this salsa. This gives a medium-hot salsa. But if you prefer a milder salsa, just use 1 chilli OR use 2 but take the seeds and membranes out before blending. If you prefer a hotter salsa, use more chillies or use hotter chillies!
You can stop here and the salsa will be delicious and already way better than shop-bought salsa. However, if you want to make your salsa ‘next-level’, I highly recommend doing the optional step of ‘frying’ your salsa – the flavours really come together and the salsa tastes extra good!
