I was wondering if anyone can help me with a recipe for a red salsa and a green salsa. I have tried a couple of red salsas before and they never turn out to good. Thanks.

5-6 very ripe red tomatoes
1 red jalapeño, seeds and vein removed if you don't like it too hot
1 tsp tomato paste
1 small red onion, finely diced
Fresh lime juice
a pinch of cumin
1 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
Dice the tomatoes and place in a bowl. finely chop the jalapeño ( I sometimes get lazy and dump it into the blender with a little of the tomato and the tomato paste...) and add to the tomatoes. add the diced red onion, all the other ingredients, and a tsp of salt. Mix together, then taste. depending on my mood, or salt/acid deficiency/surfeit, I add more salt or lime.Mostly, I add more chilli...
For the green version, use green tomatoes or, even better, tomatillos. Green onion, a little roasted green pepper and serrano chiles.
