1
Add the Roma tomatoes, chopped jalapeno peppers, chopped Serrano pepper, minced garlic, chopped white onion, dried oregano, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper into a large saucepan. Fill with enough cold water to cover the ingredients.
2
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking until the chiles and onions begin to soften - this will take about 5 minutes.
4
Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and their skin begins to crack.
5
Carefully remove the cooked vegatables from the saucepan, placing them onto a plate to cool to room temperature. Make sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the saucepan.
6
Once the vegetable mixture has cooled, place it into a food processor with the chopped cilantro.
7
Blend the mixture until you reach the desired consistency for your salsa. If needed, slowly add some of the reserved cooking water to help achieve the right texture.
8
Transfer the salsa to a container for storage. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. For best flavor, refrigerate the salsa until you are ready to serve it.
