Smoky Roasted Tomato Salsa
Ingredients
  • 12 roma (plum) tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 jalapeno chile pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and set the broiler to its highest temperature setting.
2
Combine sliced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño in a medium-sized baking dish; anoint with olive oil.
3
Subject the vegetables to high-heat broiling, monitoring their progress frequently until they reach a nicely caramelized state, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
4
Retire the vegetables from the heat source and set them aside, discarding any unwanted parts such as tomato cores, jalapeño stems, or garlic skins.
5
Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender or food processor and pulse until they achieve a coarse, textured consistency.
6
Transfer the chopped vegetables to a medium-sized bowl; mix in chopped cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt.
