Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of your favorite red salsa (recommend a chunky roasted style)
  • 1/4 cup of tomato paste (I use the Mutti Tomato Paste in a tube --- it's great because you do not have to open a whole can then figure out what to do with the rest)
  • 1 teaspoon Ancho chili pepper (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp brown sugar (a little more if you want it a bit sweeter)
  • 1/4 cup green olives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive juice
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup chili sauce (one you just made)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped serrano or jalapeño pepper
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup Clamato juice (two 5.5 oz. cans)
