Fresh Salsa

Ingredients:
4 14 oz cans stewed tomatoes (there are many different types of stewed tomatoes, try them all)
1 large onion
1 bell pepper
4-5 Cloves Garlic
Cumin
Cilantro
Mrs. Dash Table Blend
Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb
[Crushed Red Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
2 Jalapeños
1 Habanero ]*
1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
~4 oz Corn (canned or frozen)
~6 oz Black Beans

*Alter these ingredients as desired to satisfy different tastes for heat. Leaving in seeds greatly increases the heat. I generally use jalapeños or habanero, not both.


Directions:
1. Put about 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a small saucepan and bring to a low heat.
2. Sprinkle in Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb/Table Blend, Crushed Red Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin (Be most generous with the Cumin) and finally about 5 chopped cloves of garlic. Make sure the stove is on a low enough setting not to burn the garlic.
3. While that simmers, gently blend the stewed tomatoes to get a salsa-like consistency. Put the blended tomatoes in a mixing bowl leaving a small amount in the blender.
4. Next, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, corn and black beans.
5. Put chopped jalapeño/habanero (whatever the amount decided), 2 tbsp of dried cilantro (1/4 cup fresh cilantro) and the simmered seasonings/garlic into the blender with the small amount of tomatoes. Blend to a fine saucy consistency. Add this into the mixing bowl and stir it up.


Enjoy this in burritos, with chips, with rice and beans, beans and rice or with ice cream.
