Makes 3 cups (750 ml)
Approximate preparation time: 10 minutes
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl
of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Put half of the cilantro, half of
the onion, garlic cloves, jalapeños, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of salt and
half the tomatoes into the work bowl and pulse to chop to
desired consistency, about 8 to10 quick pulses; repeat with the
remaining half.
Combine the two batches in a large bowl and stir in the lime
juice. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
For better consistency, drain each batch in a strainer
to remove excess liquid.
Serve with your favourite tortilla chips.
TIP:
Salsa can be processed in one batch. However,
a better consistency is achieved by processing the tomatoes in
two batches.
