  • 1 red pepper, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • optional: half a carrot, grated
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons of onion, finely chopped
  • smoked paprika and salt to taste.
  • optional: for more spice add 1 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne
  • optional: add one teaspoon of oil is the salsa is too dry or thick
Instructions
  1. Put all the ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender and blend/process until it forms a sauce.
  2. Transfer to a pot and put on stove on high heat till it boils then lower heat so it can simmer for 10 minutes. Check on it and stir every few minutes so it doesn't burn.
  3. Let it cool and taste to see if it needs any more spices. If it needs more tanginess add a squeeze of lemon juice.
