SERVES 2 -4
- 5 fresh tree tomatoes or frozen tree tomatoes (tamarillo)
- 2 aji bell peppers or hot peppers (serranos or red chilies or habaneros)
- 2 tablespoons white onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water

- If using fresh tree tomatoes peel them, boil them for about 5 minutes to make it easier to peel them.
- If using frozen tree tomatoes, defrost them over night in the fridge, then cut them in half and scoop out all the insides.
- Blend the tree tomatoes with the hot peppers (seeded and deveined if you want it very mild, you can always save a few seeds and add them in if it’s too mild).
- Transfer the blended mix of tree tomatoes and hot peppers to a small sauce pan, add the water (you can add more if you want a more liquid sauce) and cook on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes.
- Add the onion, lime juice, cilantro and salt to taste.
