- 1/2 large onion finely diced in food processor

- 2 sprigs cilantro leaves finely minced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Chop onion into chunks and add to food processor – then add garlic, cilantro and salt – pulse until onion is minced and all cilantro is incorporated – you do NOT want to puree this!! pulse it on chop mode a half dozen times – and check often.1/2 large onion, 2 sprigs cilantro leaves, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp coarse sea salt

- Take drained whole tomatoes and put in food processor – pulse on chop setting the big chunks of tomato are broken up. again – you do not want to puree this but you want it more than diced.1 28 oz whole peeled tomatoes
