This is from my book Salsa Cooking by Marjie Lambert. Copyright 1994 Quinted Publishing Limited. This is a beautiful and flavorful salsa. it can be the star of the meal spooned over salsa, spreading on toasted French bread, or just eaten with doritoes or scoops. If you dislike anchovies, they can be left out. There are a lot of strong flavors competing here, so the heat of the jalepenos are not as noticible if you leave out the seeds.
