Ingredients

  • 6 medium Roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • 1 medium red onion, quartered

  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

  • 6 cloves garlic, quartered

  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 1 medium lime, juiced

  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

  • 1 pinch ground cumin

Directions

  1. Combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, habanero, lime juice, kosher salt, and cumin in the bowl of a food processor. Process on low speed to start the chopping, then switch to pulse until you achieve the desired consistency.

Cook's Note:

I have used and experimented with many varieties of chile peppers. We love habanero and serrano. Jalapenos are used here because they are milder than the crazy hot peppers we use on occasion.
