Method

  1. Put the onion in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Drain the liquid from the tin of tomatoes (keep for adding to pasta sauces or Bolognese) and add the tomatoes to the food processor along with the lime juice, olive oil, crushed chillies and seasoning. Pulse again until combined – you can leave this chunky or continue until as smooth as you like.
  3. Taste and add more chilli or top with sliced jalapeño chillies, if you like. Serve as a dip or use to top burgers, fajitas, nachos or whatever you fancy.

Tip: For an even hotter salsa, add 1-2 fresh green chillies with the onion in step 1 and omit the crushed chillies. For a milder, chunkier version, add ½ green pepper, roughly chopped, with the onion in step 1.
