Here's my favorite fresh salsa recipe, not real thick but has won some prizes
for me at work. Adjust at will, this ain't rocket science.

3 lbs. tomatos chopped coarse-I prefer Romas
1 large red onion chopped medium
8-12 cloves garlic chopped fine
1-10 habs, depending on your heat tolerance, or how much you want to nuke
                 your fellow workers...
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup tomato juice-I like Snap-E-Tom (TM)
1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 shot of tequila- use silver tequila, not anejo.
salt and pepper to taste-don't use iodized salt. I prefer kosher salt. Fresh
ground pepper is also preferred.

Mix it all in a large bowl and refrigerate. Makes about 1 1/2-2 quarts.

Richard
