  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make classic salsa? Prepare all the necessary products according to the list. You can use white or red onions. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, fleshy, juicy and aromatic. The taste of the sauce will largely depend on the taste of the tomatoes.

    Take the tomatoes, wash under running water, dry with paper towels and remove the attachment point to the stem. Peel the onion. Cut the vegetables into large slices. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little sunflower oil with a high smoke point. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance and bake the vegetables for about 30 minutes. You can add garlic cloves if you want a spicier flavor from the salsa and jalapeños.

Coarsely chop the greens, remove the stem and seeds from the pepper, add everything to a blender. Add pepper to taste. Please note that the spiciness of the sauce will develop over time, so use a sense of proportion. Pulse until smooth, pulsing and pausing every 10 seconds. This is necessary in order to evaluate the consistency of the sauce.
