  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves rough chopped
  • ½ medium white onion rough chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers seeds, stem & membranes removed

  • Juice from 2½ limes
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until you get the desired consistency (12-18 pulses should do).
    56 ounces (2 cans) whole, peeled tomatoes, 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, ½ medium white onion, 2 jalapeno peppers, 1 clove garlic, 1½ teaspoons kosher salt or coarse sea salt, Juice from 2½ limes, ¾ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
