Puhi Salsa

From Patrick A. Rapozo, Unit 3, DOT, Kauai

My cousin, Kathleen Koerte, gave me her favorite recipe for salsa. Since I grow fresh herbs in my garden, I decided to experiment some and came up with a mixture I call Puhi Salsa.

Now my Puhi Salsa is my cousin’s favorite recipe. This recipe is great with chips and is also good in omelettes.

• 5-6 tomatoes, diced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• 1/8 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Hawaiian salt
• 3 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
• 1 8-ounce can El Pato Sauce*
• 4-ounces regular or cider vinegar

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with chips.
