I love it when food comes with a story. Lee, a retired sheriff's officer, learned how to make salsa from his mother in El Paso, Texas, and they obviously know how to make salsa in El Paso. He uses soy sauce instead of salt, peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, and three different chiles: jalapeños, anaheims, and yellow wax. He made a jar for someone named Bill, but that guy didn't show up at the bar so Lee gave the jar to the bartender and she gave it to me because she's not into heat. I tasted the salsa in front of Lee, and it was spicy but loaded with flavor.
