This is a hot, spicy salsa typically served with empanadas and other foods as a condiment. It has more liquid than, say, a Mexican salsa. Prep time does not include 1 hour "marinating" time.

Great recipe! I love onions so this really worked for me. It was just the right amount of heat and spice for me.
