JayasheeI love spicy food, and after living in Texas, California, and then Mexico, I am pretty obsessed with salsa! There is nothing more magnificent than freshly made salsa, and honestly, that was better than the beach in Mexico. I am still down with eating salsa at the beach, though. This salsa is roasted for maximum flavor, and I had so many requests for salsa after I posted those gorgeous purple tomatoes I found at the farmer’s market. This is how we made it:
Roasted Heirloom Tomato Salsa
Ingredients:
1-2 heirloom tomatoes, or about 1 ½ pounds, cored and quartered
½ onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic
1 lime, juiced
2-3 chipotle peppers (from a jar), roughly chopped
½ bunch of cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 F.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Place the tomatoes and onions on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes and onions start to get just a little charred.
Let the tomatoes, onions, and garlic cool a little so you don’t burn yourself, and then add them to a food processor along with the lime, chipotle peppers, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse the mix until you get your desired consistency. It’s nice to have a little texture, but we’re not making pico de gallo here.
Serve with chips or whatever you like to eat your salsa with!
