Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium green chili
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing the tomatoes, green chili, parsley, and cilantro. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Finely dice the tomatoes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and green chili, removing the seeds from the chili if you prefer a milder salsa. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the parsley and cilantro finely, ensuring no large stems remain. Stir them into the bowl.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes, just until it’s warm but not smoking. Remove it from the heat.
Pour the warm olive oil over the tomato mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Add the lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste to adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Let the salsa sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Banadurah Harrah immediately with warm pita bread, grilled meats, or use it as a vibrant topping for your favorite dishes.
