2 tins tomato polpa or chopped tomatoes* polpa is finely crushed tomatoes; chopped tomatoes give a coarser salsa
1 lime, juice only
1 small red onion, finely chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
10 slices pickled jalapeños (adjust to taste)
50 ml ketchup
50 ml olive oil
2 tsp ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper
A dash of Tabasco or chilli sauce, optional

Drain the tomatoes thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve. Stir with a spoon until all the liquid has drained off.
*If you use chopped tomatoes, your salsa will be coarser. You can also use one tin of each, - it gives the tomato salsa a lovely texture.
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeños, and grate or crush the garlic.
*Do yourself a favour and taste your jalapeños first, - there is a BIG difference in heat.
Tip the tomatoes into a bowl along with the red onion, jalapeños, garlic, spices, ketchup, lime juice and oil.
Stir the salsa well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
*Add a dash of Tabasco or chilli sauce if you want a spicier salsa.
