method
1. In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh green chilli, garlic clove, chopped red onion, spring onions and fresh coriander leaves. Process together until everything is finely chopped.
2. Add the tomatoes, canned chillies, olive oil, lime or lemon juice, salt and tomato juice or water. Pulse on and off until chopped; the tomato salsa should be chunky.
3. Transfer to a bowl and taste for seasoning. Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. This salsa is best served the day it is made.
For less heat, remove the seeds from both fresh and canned chillies.
