Of course, the main thing for the salsa is to use fresh, high-quality products cilantro leaves should be fresh, and the tomatoes must be red and ripe, this will give the salsa a bright and flavorful taste and color. Instead of a blender, you can use a mortar as well (molcajete). Add salt and pepper to taste, stir in cilantro if using and serve. Puree the tomato sauce in a blender until smooth, adding a little water if needed. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano and simmer for about 10 minutes. Or, like me, blend them raw, and then simmer with oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and chile and saut for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Heat over medium high heat until it begins to boil, and then remove from heat. Add the tomato, garlic, jalapeno mixture to a frying pan with a small amount of olive oil. Separately, dice the onions and the cilantro. The simplest way is just to blend the raw vegetables in a blender and serve. Blend the tomato, garlic, and jalapeno in a blender. Another option is to boil the vegetables in water over low heat for 20 minutes, then blend, then simmer with oil.
