-
Step 1.
Dice the stewed tomatoes and combine them in a saucepan with the onions, fresh tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix evenly.
-
Step 2.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture just to a boil. Once boiling, let it boil hard for 1 minute, then remove the pan from the heat.
-
Step 3.
Transfer half of the mixture to a blender and pulse briefly until finely minced but not pureed; you want small pieces, not a smooth sauce. Return the blended portion to the saucepan with the remaining half and stir to combine.
-
Step 4.
Add Tabasco sauce to taste, starting with a few dashes, and stir well. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
-
Step 5.
Once cooled, transfer to a tightly covered container and refrigerate. Use within a few weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.
