Ingredients:
5 dried Japones chiles
rehydrated according to package directions
(save liquid)
1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
minced
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
Discard stems and seeds from chiles; chop finely. In a blender container or food processor bowl place the tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, salt, minced chiles, and 2 Tbsp of the soaking liquid. Process with 2 or 3 quick on and off turns, so that salsa is still chunky in texture. Let stand at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Excellent with fish and seafood.
Makes 1 3/4 cups sauce
