chunky chop salsa

after mass yesterday evening, my hunny and i dropped by a supermarket and checked the goods. tomatoes cost less now as they are in season. as we had extra celery and bell peppers in the ref, we decided to make a salsa out of them.

(thanks to tostitos for the old salsa jar. think recycle!)

chunky chop salsa

8 small tomatoes

4 medium bell peppers

4 medium stalks of celery

1 big onion

1 cup tomato paste

salt and pepper

brown curry for flavor

cut the tomatoes cross-wise and remove the seeds under running water. chunky chop the tomatoes.

wash the bellpeppers and remove the seeds under running water. chunky chop the bell peppers.

wash the celery and remove the leaves. chunky chop the celery.

wash and skin the onion. chunky chop the onion.

on a pan with little oil, add the chunky chopped onion. when soft, add the chunky chopped tomatoes. saute in about 1 minute. add the tomato paste. mix for about 2 minutes for the paste to cook through. add the chunky chopped celery, and the chunky chopped bell peppers. add a tablespoon of the brown curry mix for flavor. adjust salt and pepper to taste.

mixture will be thick and chunky. add a little water if you want a more runny sauce but this will kill the chunkiness of the salsa. but thick sauce is good for chunky chip dipping.

i guess you now have heard more than enough chunkiness in your chunky chop salsa.
