2 tbsps roasted peanuts;

Classic Tomato And Coriander Salsa
Ingredients
3-6 fresh green chillies
1 large white onion, chopped
Juice of 2 limes,
plus strips of the lime rind
8 ripe, firm tomatoes
1 large bunch of fresh coriander
1/4 tsp sugar
Salt
Procedure:
Roast the chillies and keep aside in a bag for about 20 minutes. Chop the onion finely and put it in a bowl with the lime rind and juice. The lime juice will soften the onion considerably.
Remove the chillies from the bag and peel off the skins. Chop the flesh and keep aside.
Cut a small cross at the base of each tomato and place in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water to cover.
Put the tomatoes into a bowl of cold water. Drain and remove the skins.
Dice the peeled tomatoes and put them in a bowl. Add the chopped onion, which should by now have
softened together with any remaining lime juice and rind. Chop the
coriander finely.
Add the chopped coriander to the salsa, with the chillies and the sugar. Mix gently until the sugar has dissolved and all the ingredients are coated with lime juice.
Cover and chill for 2-3 hours to allow the flavour to blend. Garnish
with the extra strips of lime rind just before serving.
