in a Mexican cookbook I have.

Salsa

2 onions chopped
3 cloves of garlic chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
4 tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 canned pimientos chopped
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cups medium sherry
Salt and pepper to taste

Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until they begin to brown in pan over medium heat. Add
all the other ingredients except olives and cook
10 minutes. Add olives just before serving.

Chimichurry sauce
-----------------
1 medium yellow onion
1 green bell pepper, seeded
1 green onion
1 tomato
2 tablespoons parsley
3/4 cup white or red vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 or 2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper to taste (up to 1 tablespoon)

For sauce to serve with empanadas, chop vegetables into large pieces
and place all ingredients in blender container. Blend until all
ingredients are finely minced. Store, covered, in refrigerator until
flavors meld; will keep for 10 to 15 days. Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups.
For a chunkier sauce to serve with barbecued meats, chop vegetables
and garlic by hand and mix with remaining ingredients.
