Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 2 Tomatoes
  • 2 Onions
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 100 ml Rum
  • 400 ml strained tomatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Balsamic vinegar
  • 1⁄2 Cinnamon stick
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 5 TABLESPOONS demerara sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Fireplace lighter or long match

Directions

  1. 1

    Clean the tomatoes, removing the stalk attachments, wash and pat dry. Cut the tomatoes into cubes. Peel and finely chop onions and garlic. Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions and garlic and fry over a low heat for about 10 minutes until transparent and golden (do not let it get brown!).

  2. 2

    Then raise the temperature, pour on rum and light carefully. This works best with a fireplace lighter. But if you don't have one at hand and want to be on the safe side, you can use an uncooked (!) spaghetti or a long match as a lighting aid.

  3. 3

    While the alcohol burns, swing the pan back and forth. If you don't want to, just let it simmer for 3-4 minutes at high heat.

  4. 4

    As soon as the flame goes out, pass and add diced tomatoes, lime juice, vinegar, cinnamon, bay leaf, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. Simmer everything at low to medium heat for about 30 minutes. Stir again and again so that the salsa does not burn.

  5. 5

    Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves, season the sauce with salt and pepper and let it cool down.
