1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons cooking oil

Bring the water to a boil then reduce the heat to low.
7
Simmer for 1 minute then turn off the heat.

13
Turn the heat to low. Add up to a cup of soaking water to get the desired consistency.
14
Simmer the salsa for 30 minutes until it thickens. The salsa will darken in color during this time.
