Method

Whizz all the ingredients apart from the olive oil in a food processor with plenty of seasoning until roughly chopped.
Add the oil and whizz until you have a finely chopped salsa.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, then chill, covered with cling film, for no longer than 6 hours (to keep it fresh).
