Salsa Piquante

A hot salsa, suitable for spicing up those meals made with people less able to enjoy chillis in mind.

2 shallots
1 salad spring onion - white part only
2 tomatoes
5 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon dried jalapeno
1 teaspoon dried habanero
Mexican Oregano

Boil a little water an put the chillis in to soak for 5 mins.
Finley chop the onions & tomatoes.
Vigorously whisk the oil & water together to form an emulsion. Whisk in the oregano.
Place the onions, tomatoes & chillis in a blender, and pour over the oil & vinegar. Blend to a fine paste.
Cover, and leave in the fridge for an hour.

Makes quite a bit!
