Ingredients

• 1 lb Grape tomatoes
• 1 fresh Habanero pepper (omit if you want a very mild salsa)
• 1 fresh Serrano pepper (swap for a jalapeño if you want a very mild salsa)
• 1 small white onion
• 4-6 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Onion powder
• 1/4 tsp Fennel
• Fresh cilantro

Instructions

• Rough chop your onion. Cut the stems off the peppers. Peel the garlic.
• Heat a pan on high heat and add the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic to cook for about 2 minutes. Stir frequently so your ingredients get a nice char but do not burn.
• Put all ingredients into an airtight bag and add your seasonings. It’s important to put the amount of salt listed in the recipe as it will aid the fermentation process.
• Squeeze out as much air from your baggie as possible. Place bag in a neutral location that won’t receive sunlight and let the ingredients ferment.
• After about 5 days, dump all contents of your bag, including the juices, into a blender. Blend together to your desired thickness. 
• Put your salsa in a serving container and pair with your favorite flavor of BeyondChipz for a low-carb, keto friendly chips and salsa experience!

Have leftovers? Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Don’t want to wait? Skip the fermentation process and blend up your ingredients immediately after you sear them. It's still a very tasty salsa!
