Instructions

Heat a pan to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chopped tomatoes, habaneros and onion. Cook them down, stirring a bit, about 5 minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and stir. Cook another minute, until you can smell the awesome garlic.
Scoop the contents into a blender or food processor along with the vinegar, lime juice, salt, and optional seasonings. Blend until smooth.
Heat the same pan back to low heat and add the remaining olive oil. Pour the salsa into the pan and let it simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Cool and store in the refrigerator, covered. It is best served chilled.

Notes

Makes about 1.5 cups
Heat Factor: HOT.
Habaneros have some good level heat. This is more of a blooming heat, so you may not notice until after a few bites.
