Quick & Easy
Salsa roja
I never buy salsa roja from the shops as it's super simple and quick to make at home and it tastes so much better! Try to find ripe, good quality tomatoes – it'll really pay off. This dip is perfect for nachos or quesadillas, and is even great as a burger topping.
Ingredients:
- 5 ripe beef tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- pinch salt
- 3 jalapeno chilli peppers, finely chopped
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 limes, juice only
- large handful coriander, chopped
Directions:
- Blend the tomatoes, garlic and salt together until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan along with the jalapenos and onion.
- Cook over a medium heat for 10–15 minutes.
- Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- When ready to serve, finish with fresh lime juice and chopped coriander.
