Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Remove the seeds and finely chop the red hot chili peppers.
- Remove the seeds and dice the red pepper.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and starts to soften.
- Add the chopped red hot chili peppers and red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- Stir in the tomato puree and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the quartered cherry tomatoes to the skillet and mix well.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the salsa simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the salsa has thickened to your liking and all the vegetables are tender, remove it from the heat.
- Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the thick 'n' chunky salsa with your favorite chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
Tips:
- For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes of the chili peppers.
- Use ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice for an extra tangy kick.
- Allow the salsa to sit for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- For added texture, you can also mix in some diced avocado or corn.
With just a few simple steps and fresh ingredients, you can create a homemade salsa that's both thick and chunky, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your flavorful creation as a dip, topping, or even as a side dish. Happy cooking!
