This is my son’s favorite homemade salsa. It’s rich and has a bit of a heat kick to the tomato.
We actually cook this salsa to thicken the tomato sauce and enhance the flavor. It’s better than any jarred salsa!!
If you’re looking for a rich and rich salsa reminiscent of a truly good jarred salsa (but even better!), you’ve come to the right place.
I love fresh, raw style salsas, but the cooked salsas are a great alternative when you need a slightly smoother, thicker, and stronger seasoned version.
Plus, it lasts longer (compared to 6-7 days if cooked, 3-4 days if fresh).

How to make it
***A complete recipe with detailed instructions on the recipe card at the end of this post***
Chop the vegetables roughly, then place them in a pan and whisk quickly in a hand blender. The salsa needs texture so just a few pulses are fine. Heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then add cumin, sugar and seasonings. Add canned tomatoes, lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Simmer again until slightly thickened, turn off the heat and let the finely chopped coriander cool before stirring.
Pro tips
Adjust the salsa chunks by changing the blend time. 2-3 seconds for Chunky and 10-15 seconds for smoother salsa.
Once the salsa has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready. It is best served in chilled ones.
