SALSA

Mexican food is a rarity here in South Africa. There's one good Mexican restaurant in Cape Town (a little far for frequenting & not in our little budgets). So, when I make Mexican, my friends LOVE me! My friend Natalie especially enjoys my salsa. Yesterday I brought her a small dish of salsa, she quickly ran to the shop & bought avo & chips to make a meal! Note: corn chips are hard to find here. There's no Tostitos bags in Pick n Pay. So, we eat salsa with Doritos. Makes the experience a little more spicy!

Salsa Recipe

1 can tomatoes with onions
2 cans mexican-style tomatoes
1/2 onion
1-2 tsp minced garlic
2-3 jalapenos
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Ground Cumin to taste
Coriander (sa version of Cilantro) to taste
2 tbs lime juice

Put ingredients into a blender. Blend for a few seconds until smooth.
Put in frig for about 24 hours before serving - this allows the ingredients to merge and the ingredients to properly chill!

(This is very similar to Kim's salsa recipe from smbc-home but my ingredients are a bit different because of my SA shopping limitations.)

I miss Habaneros!
