Chilean Salsa

Description: After trying this salsa, it is hard to go back to store-bought salsa. I could eat my weight in this stuff, along with tortilla chips. Yum!!

Ingredients:

• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 green serrano chilies (I use one of each) or 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and chopped (I use one of each)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 6 medium ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1 cup finely chopped sweet Spanish onions or 1 cup vidalia onion
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4-1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

1. In a mortar, crush the garlic, chile peppers, and salt and make a paste, using a circular motion with the pestle.
2. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
4. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
