Blender Salsa


I picked some fresh tomatoes from Meg's garden this afternoon.  In the mood for the fresh tomato salsa I always make, but not having the energy to chop and dice, I decided to try throwing it together in a blender.  I didn't really measure, but I'm putting the recipe below so I can remember it later.

IN THE BLENDER:
1 medium red onion
1 small jalapeño
3 cloves of garlic
6-7 small tomatoes
a handful cilantro

Pulse.  It will be pink, frothy, and soupy.  Pour into a medium bowl.

TO ADD TEXTURE, I ADDED:
7-8 more small tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 of a jalapeño (diced)
another handful cilantro (chopped)

FINALLY, THE SPICES:
2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp sugar
6-7 dashes roasted cumin powder
2 dashes cayenne pepper
Salt to taste
