LEAH'S EASY FOOD PROCESSOR SALSA
If you like salsa that doesn't have that thick texture like Pace- that's more like restaurant salsa- this one is for you. The heat can easily be adjusted by changing the quantity/type of peppers. I would say that following the recipe would give you a "medium" heat salsa.

Steps:
- Put garlic cloves and jalapeño pieces in food processor (a blender can be used but will put a lot of air into the salsa and will not be able to be served immediately), pulse a few time until coarsely chopped.
- Place roma tomatoes in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 1 minute or so on high, then remove skins.
- Add diced tomatoes, lime juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times until everything looks well mixed.
- Add onion, roma tomatoes, and cilantro, and pulse just a few times until onion is at desire consistency. Adding onions at the end is VERY important, otherwise they will become pureed and make a gross texture for the salsa.
- If you want to remove the remaining metallic taste of the fresh tomato, cook over medium low heat in a non-reactive pot for about 15-20 minutes.
- For best flavor, refrigerate over night to let flavors mingle.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use a combination of green and red bell peppers. For a hot salsa, use jalapeños or serrano peppers.
- Don't over-process the salsa: Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until they are combined, but don't over-process them. You want the salsa to have a little bit of texture.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or oregano can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Add them at the end of processing.
- Season to taste: Taste your salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice depending on your taste.
