"Some Kind of Wonderful" Salsa

I am on a roll today! So far, two things have been made and one still "brewing." This has yet to be tried but honestly, how can a person screw it up? Okay, for some of you, you are talking out loud right now saying, "It is possible."

We go through a ton of salsa in this house and my husband doesn't really like the "PACE" but loves the kind of salsa you get at a Mexican restaurant or the spending stuff at the store. For those that know me...here was my next challenge!

Salsa Picante Roja

INGREDIENTS:
-3 Medium Tomatoes-Cored and quartered
-1 Jalapeno-Stem removed and roasted
-3-4 Small Cloves Garlic
-2 Tablespoons Cilantro
-3-4 Tablespoons Water
-1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
-Salt to Taste
-Green Pepper (I also added this)
-Onion (I also added this)

DIRECTIONS:

1) In a blender or food processor, add tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro and water and PULSE a few times until completely smooth (or a little chunky depending on your texture preference).
2) Add oil to a deep skillet. Pour in mixture. Season with salt and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally- 20-25 minutes.
3) Depending on the size of your tomatoes, makes about 1 1/2 Cups. You can refrigerate a few days or freeze the rest.

Now to let it cool.

Don't worry-as it simmers it gets that deep red salsa look
