Roasted Tomato Salsa

Roasted Tomato Salsa
Prep 5 min Cook 10 min Serves 7 Source

Ingredients

  • 6 medium Roma tomatoes
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, (stemmed)
  • 1 small white onion, (halved)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 10 cilantro sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice ((about ½ lime))
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, (plus more to taste)

Steps

  1. 1

    Place the oven rack directly underneath the broiler and turn the broiler on high.

  2. 2

    Place the tomatoes, jalapeños, and onion on a baking sheet and drizzle with the oil. Rub it all over the vegetables to coat, then place them in the oven and broil for 5-8 minutes, until the skins are blistered and blackened.

  3. 3

    Flip the vegetables over, add the garlic to the baking sheet, and broil for 5-8 more minutes, until blackened and blistered.

  4. 4

    If you don't want the salsa too spicy, remove and discard the jalapeño seeds. Transfer everything to a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro sprigs, lime juice, and salt. Pulse a few times for a chunky salsa or blend for one minute for a smooth salsa. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
