This is a good salsa-type dip for fresh veggies or tortilla chips, or use in any mexican recipe. I like it spicy hot, but if you prefer a milder sauce (wimp) cut back on the tabasco or the crushed red pepper or the jalapenos! your choice. It also freezes well.
1 can (28 oz.) whole tomatoes
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
3 to 4 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 md. bell pepper, diced
4 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped, plus 3 tbsps. juice from the can
1/2 oz. Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp. crushed red pepper
3/4 cup water
Recipe
Pour the can of whole tomatoes into a large bowl, along with their juice, Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Add all the other ingredients, blending well. Store in a glass container in the refrigerator, until ready for use. Can also be frozen.
