Roasted Tomato Salsa

🌶 Roasted Tomato Salsa

Ingredients

• 6 medium ripe tomatoes

• 3 cloves garlic (unpeeled)

• 1 small white onion, quartered

• 2–3 fresh jalapeños or serrano peppers (adjust to heat preference)

• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

• ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

• Optional: ½ tsp ground cumin for extra depth

Instructions

1. Roast the veggies:

   • Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) or heat a grill pan.

   • Place tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and garlic on a baking tray.

   • Roast for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until skins are blistered and charred.

2. Peel garlic:

   • Once cool enough to handle, peel the roasted garlic cloves.

3. Blend:

   • In a blender or food processor, combine roasted tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and salt.

   • Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky for texture.

4. Taste & adjust:

   • Add more salt or lime juice as needed.

5. Serve:

   • Enjoy warm or chilled with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or over eggs.

Tip: For an even smokier flavor, roast the vegetables directly over an open flame or on a grill.
