Goody's Perfect Santa Maria Style Salsa

Recipe from: Justin C. Goodwin

<i>Good for BBQ Steak, Tri-Tip Sandwiches and Chicken.</i>

1 28 ounce can stewed tomatoes
1 6 ounce can diced Ortega chiles
1 large jalapeno
3 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 to 1/2 white onion, optional
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 small lemon
salt

Remove seeds and stems from jalapeno. In a blender, pour in the juice from the can of tomatoes. Blend in jalapeno, garlic cloves, Worcestershire sauce, onion, and oregano. Squeeze in lemon (no seeds) while blending on high until an even texture is achieved. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and Ortega chiles. Pulse blend until salsa is blended well, but still chunky. Salt to taste.

Chill immediately.
