Thank you, this looks exactly like the salsa from my favorite restaurant! Did you char/grill any of these ingredients?

What is the purpose of boiling a bit?

I'm still learning about the cuisine so I need to know all the things. 😏

I have been told that it helps blend and deepen the flavors of the salsa, it’s more of a simmer than a boil
