Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped white onion
- 3 finely minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped white onion to the oil and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the finely minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to the mixture, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors and aromas of the spices.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes, along with their juices, into the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Allow the salsa to cool slightly before serving, or blend it for a smoother texture if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite Paleo-based dishes or as a topping for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
