Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Steps:

Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 to 10 garlic cloves, peeled
3 fresh jalapeños, stemmed
6 fresh serrano chiles, stemmed and chopped
3/4 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
2 heaping teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 to 1 1/2 cups flat-leaf parsley sprigs

Steps:

Heat a comal or dry 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron; not nonstick) over medium-low heat until hot.
Cook garlic and jalapeños, turning with tongs occasionally, until blackened in spots, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
Combine all ingredients except parsley in a food processor and finely chop. Add parsley and pulse a few more times.
