2 large green onions -- snipped finely
with scissors

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 dash Tabasco -- to taste

Cut up stewed tomatoes and combine in saucepan with onions, fresh tomato, salt and pepper. Bring just to a boil. Boil hard 1 minute and remove at once from heat.

For hot salsa, add 1 teaspoon canned green chopped chiles or jalapeños, freezing unused chiles to use in other recipes.
