Canned tomatoes or fresh tomatoes
In this recipe I use canned tomatoes for convenience, but you can use them fresh. For this, what you should do is take 6 or 7 large juicy tomatoes, make a small incision in the shape of a cross at the base of the same and put them in boiling water no more than 2 minutes. The idea of this is that the skin loosen and it becomes easy to peel them.
It is important that you do not overdo the time because you can start to cook the tomatoes and it is not the idea.
Once you have them peeled, simply continue with this recipe replacing natural tomatoes with canned ones.
And the onion?
Some people put it on, others do not. In this recipe I do not include it, because I do not usually use it, but if it's your taste, add it.
