Hot Salsa (vegan)

Whether you put it in your tacos, or use it as a dip for tortilla chips, having a good fresh homemade salsa recipe at home is a must!

Here's what you need for a medium bowl of salsa :

- 6 tomatoes

- 1/2 onion (or 1/3 if it's a big onion)

- 1 jalapeno pepper (I like it spicy but try using half first and add more if needed)

- 3 garlic cloves

- The juice of 1/2 lemon

- 1 bunch of cilantro

- Salt

- chili flakes (optional)

• Finely chop 3 tomatoes, the onion, jalapeno, garlic cloves and some cilantro. I am not the biggest fan of cilantro so I as you can see I only put a little bit, but feel free to put much more for a more authentic taste.

• Put everything in a bowl, add some salt and mix.

• Roast the 3 other tomatoes by putting them in a pan on a stove on medium-high heat until they turn black. Turn them and keep cooking them until they get that fire roasted flavor.

• Wait for the tomatoes to cool down a bit and put them in your blender. I like to add some chili flakes for an extra spicy taste.

• Blend the tomatoes and poor them over the fresh ingredients in the bowl.

• Add the lemon juice. The mix of the roasted and fresh ingredients is what's going to make your salsa exceptional!

• You can keep it in the fridge for a few days

ENJOY!
