Cooking time: 55 minutes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp coriander
2 tsp ground cumin

Salsa
Mild Homemade Salsa:
If you do not like things hot (or even warm for that matter!), this is the perfect salsa. You can build your tolerance to greater heat levels if you so desire. Just start with a very little bit of hot pepper.
Combine all the chopped ingredients into a bowl stir lightly. Squeeze the lime juice over the homemade salsa. If you prefer, you can use a stick blender and create a less chunky salsa. This flavourful, mild homemade salsa can be served immediately, but its flavour will be enhanced if you let the tastes develop overnight in the fridge.
