**Bricklayers Sauce Salsa De Albanil**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 ripe tomatoes
– 1 white onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
– Juice of 2 limes
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Tomatoes**: Begin by preparing the tomatoes. You can either roast them in the oven for a deeper flavor or use them fresh for a brighter salsa. If roasting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the whole tomatoes on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until the skins start to blister. Let them cool before proceeding.
2. **Peel and Dice Tomatoes**: Once the tomatoes have cooled (if roasted), peel off the skins and dice them into small pieces. If using fresh tomatoes, simply dice them up. Place the diced tomatoes in a medium-sized bowl.
3. **Combine Ingredients**: Add the chopped white onion, minced garlic, jalapeño peppers, and fresh cilantro to the bowl of diced tomatoes.
4. **Mix Well**: Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
5. **Add Lime Juice**: Squeeze the juice of two limes over the mixture. The lime juice adds a tangy kick that balances out the flavors of the salsa.
6. **Season with Salt and Pepper**: Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, you can always add more seasoning later on, so start with a little and adjust as needed.
7. **Chill Before Serving**: For the best flavor, allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This time allows the ingredients to meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
8. **Serve and Enjoy**: Once the salsa has chilled, it’s time to serve and enjoy! This Bricklayers Sauce Salsa De Albanil is perfect for dipping tortilla chips, spooning over tacos, or as a zesty topping for grilled meats.
