Equipment

  • Large Stock Pot
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Roma tomatoes (de-stemmed)
  • 2 Serrano chilies (seeds scooped out)
  • 1 jalapeño (seeds scooped out)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cups chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Fill a 6-quart pot three-quarters full with water. De-stem tomatoes and scoop the seeds out of the chilis and jalapeño.
  • Add the tomatoes, Serrano chillies, jalapeño and 1 teaspoon sea salt to the pot. Make sure the water is covering all the ingredients. Bring to a boil.
  • The tomatoes will start to burst and their skins will star to peel, about 5 to 10 minutes. As soon as this happens, remove the pot from the heat.
  • Using a high powered blender (or food processor), add the boiled tomatoes, Serranos, jalapeño, garlic cloves, onion, cilantro and 1 tablespoon sea salt. Pulse until the tomatoes are chunky and the salsa is a consistency you like. I like to leave in small chunks of tomatoes and onions. But, if you want a very smooth salsa, keep blending until you have it.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Tips
  • If you like a mild salsa, you can leave out the jalapeño, as Serrano chilies are a more mild heat.
  • If you like it more spicy, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
  • The size of the jalapeño and Serranos also make a difference, as if you have very larger peppers then you will have more heat. So pay attention to that while shopping.
  • You can make the salsa any consistency you want. I like it a little chunky with chunks of tomatoes and onions. But, if you like it very smooth you can blend it longer until you get the consistency you like.
