Step 1
First, prepare the tomatoes. Make a small incision in the skin of each tomato, place them in a large bowl, and pour boiling water over them for a few seconds. This will make it easier to remove the tomato skins. Once the skins are removed, cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Then blend the tomatoes in a blender until smooth to form a puree.

The final step is mixing all the ingredients. Place tomato purée, minced onion, and citrus juice into a single container. Add chili pepper, salt, and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly. If you notice any pieces of onion or tomato remaining, strain the mixture through a blender once more. Once you have a smooth, aromatic mixture, the sangrita is ready.
