  Spicy Tomato-Chipotle Salsa

This spicy salsa is served over meat such as a grilled steak. The cool temperature of the salsa contrasts with the warmth of the sizzling steak.

Ingredients

¼ Cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
½ Onion, chopped
2 Pounds ripe tomatoes
Finely chopped garlic
½ Cup minced fresh cilantro
4 Chipotle chiles en adobo, chopped
¼ Cup red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Teaspoon sugar

Process

Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon oil and sauté until carmelized, about 10 minutes. In a blender, combine cooked onion, tomatoes, and garlic until finely chopped, not puréed. Add the cilantro and chiles and combine well. Peel, seed and chop the remaining pound of tomatoes and fold in together with the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil, vinegar, salt and sugar.
