It started with two things, I got tired of steamed vegetables and my local grocer had a sale on peppers. So, I made salsa. This makes a bunch of salsa

Remove the stems and seeds from the various peppers except the habanero. Coarse chop all of the vegetables the vegetables keeping the onions separate from the other vegetables. Put the EVOO in a 4qt saucepan and bring to a high heat. Saute the onions till translucent. Then add in the peppers to saute. bring the mixture to a medium heat and add the tomatos, tomatillos, garlic lemon juice, chile powder and ground cumin. bring to a boil and then cover the pot and allow to simmer for 30-45 minutes.

I use this salsa in lieu of salad dressing. or as a relish on meats. Before my diet I would sometimes mix it with rice as a meal or eat it with tortilla chips or fresh tortillas with chorizo. It also makse a good addition to morning chorizo and eggs breakfast burritos.
