Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes about 200g/7 oz
  • 2 fresh green chillies
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 small bunch fresh coriander cilantro, leaves and stems
  • 1 Tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Roughly chop the tomatoes, green chillies, shallot, garlic and coriander leaves, for easier grinding.
    2 fresh green chillies, 1 small shallot, 1 small garlic clove, 1 small bunch fresh coriander
  • Then place all the ingredients in a food chopper and pulse a few times until combined but not overly smooth. Don’t process continuously or the tomatoes will become too liquid. 5 or 6 times should do it.

  • Leave to rest for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the lemon juice and salt before serving.
    The final drizzle of juice and oil you see in the video is completely optional, so I haven't listed it in the ingredients.
