Great for parties and casual group munching when served with restaurant style tortilla chips. Also goes great with eggs the morning after the party. Makes approximately 1 quart. Double the recipe to fill a 2-quart pitcher and to avoid using only half an onion and half of a lemon. Keeps well when sealed and refrigerated for up to a week.
Ingredients: [‘jalapeno peppers’, ‘lemon’, ‘diced tomatoes with green chilies’, ‘whole canned tomatoes’, ‘fresh cilantro’, ‘red onion’, ‘fresh tomatoes’, ‘black peppercorns’, ‘salt’, ‘garlic salt’, ‘cumin seed’]

Steps: [‘Gather required tools: Spice grinder or mortar & pestle, Knife, Cutting board, Food Processor (1.5+ quart size), Citrus Reamer (optional).’, ‘Open canned ingredients and strain off excess water.’, ‘Grind cumin seeds to a powder and black peppercorns to medium to fine coarseness (as desired) in spice grinder or mortar & pestle.’, ‘Wash and prepare all fresh ingredients, cutting them into halves or quarters as necessary to size them for comfortable loading into your food processor. It’s handy to pre-squeeze the lemon into a small glass where it is easier and safer to remove ejected seeds rather than digging them out of a loaded food processor with your finger (cook safe!). Remove jalapeño stems.’, ‘In a food processor blend all ingredients except the fresh tomatoes.’, ‘Once a well-blended consistency is achieved, add fresh tomatoes and pulse/chop several times to desired level of chunkiness.’]
