Directions:

  1. Roughly chop the cilantro. Cut the onion and peppers into large pieces. Process in a blender until coarsely chopped.
  2. Quarter the tomatoes. Add, along with remaining ingredients and pulse until the mixture is chopped into small pieces.

Chef’s Tip: Prepare this without a blender by chopping everything finely with a knife and grating the tomatoes on the large holes of a grater (over a bowl so you catch the juices!).
