Morehead Mind Sauce

Yup, thanks to my brother my salsa has a name!!

So now, let's make some Morehead Mind Sauce!

First you will need the following ingredients:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher Salt or Sea Salt
1 can diced tomatoes (no salt added when you can)
1 can petite diced tomatoes (no salt added when you can)
Shallot
Garlic
Lime
Cilantro
Jalapeño 

It seems like every time I make my salsa I blend the ingredients a different way and with the tiny food processor I have I usually have to do the two cans of tomatoes separate. Here is one variation of how to combine everything.

Roughly chop garlic, shallot, cilantro, and jalapeño. Drain diced tomatoes and puree in food processor with a pinch of Kosher salt. Then puree in the garlic, shallot, jalapeño (remove the seeds and ribs) with tomatoes one at a time. Add limejuice and a little bit of olive oil. Put in cilantro and puree again. Drain can of petite diced tomatoes. Pulse in food processor just enough to combine.

**TIP** Wear disposable rubber gloves when working with Jalapeños!!

Food can be decoration.

Mise en Place
If you like chunkier salsa do NOT full puree the can of petite diced tomatoes
