Step 1

Start by blending the tomatoes whole—seeds and juice included—until smooth. Pour the pureed tomatoes into a container with a lid. Next, mix in the chopped green bell pepper, onion, lime juice, garlic, sea salt, oregano, and rosemary. Give everything a good stir to combine the flavors. Cover the container and pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour to let it chill and the flavors meld together.
