HOW TO MAKE FIRE ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Prepare your tomatoes by slicing them lengthwise in half. Remove as much fluid and as many seeds as possible. You can use a spoon to help you with this process.
• Prepare a grill basket or grill pan with brushed on olive oil. Or, if using the oven method, prepare your pan. Alternatively, if you are using a pan or (baking sheet) you can use aluminum foil with nonstick spray.
• Preheat you oven to 450 or your grill on high if using a grill.
• In a medium bowl, combine together the remaining olive oil with the garlic and seasonings.
• Dip each individual tomato half the bowl, covering the entire piece well and allowing the remaining mixture to drip back into the bowl. Then place the tomato half on the prepared basket or pan with the sliced side up.
• Drizzle any remaining oil mixture over the tomatoes after you are done placing them all on to the prepared basket or pan.
• Grill the tomatoes until they are charred and then allow them to cool before serving (it should take just a few minutes).
• Oven method, roast for 45-50 minutes or until the the tomatoes begin to brown. Allow them to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Grill Method: Oil grill basket or grill pan and spread tomatoes cut side up. Grill until charred, turning to get both sides (5 to 10 minutes total depending on size).
• Oven Method: Roast for 40-45 minutes or until tomatoes are charred (See Note 2). Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in jar with olive oil to cover tomatoes and seal. Keep refrigerated.

HOW TO FIRE ROAST TOMATOES

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise (from stem to tip) and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Place the tomatoes cut side down over a medium flame on a gas grill. If using a charcoal grill, place the tomatoes in the middle of the grill over briquettes that are medium-hot.
• When the tomatoes develop dark char marks (about 5 to 8 minutes depending on size and heat of grill). Continue cooking until the skins begin to blacken in spots. Then, remove the tomatoes from the grill, pile them in a bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
• When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins and dice the flesh, making sure to reserve the juices.
• Use immediately or pack tomatoes in a freezer proof container with juices.

FLAME-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the grill to high.2. When ready to cook, arrange the tomatoes on the hot grill grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the skin blackens and blisters. This will take 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the tomatoes. Transfer the tomatoes to a plate or platter to cool.3. Scrape the burnt skin off the tomato with a paring knife. Don't worry if you can't remove every last bit: a little burnt skin adds a nice smoky flavor.

FLAME ROASTED SALSA

Steps:

• Fire up the grill. Make it really hot in the middle, medium hot on the sides.
• The jalapenos and serranos are a good starting point, but are just suggestions. I like to use a variety of peppers, including poblanos, mexibelles etc. Just remember, that the level of heat comes strictly from the peppers. Either way, you are going to want 8 or more peppers. Make sure to leave the stems on.
• Place the tomatoes in the center, over the hottest part of the grill. Place the peppers and onion over the medium hot part.
• Roast on the grill for 15 minutes The tomato skin will get black. That is fine. Don't move them. Turn the peppers and onion half way through. The peppers should blacken as well, but they cook faster than the tomatoes, so keep an eye on them. If the peppers get black and soft before the 15 mins is up, take them off.
• Turn the tomatoes at 15 minutes Cook the other side for 15 mins as well. Remove the peppers as long as they are soft and place them in a brown paper bag. Keep cooking the onion, turning every 7 mins or so, until soft and caramelized, usually as long as the tomatoes.
• Remove the tomatoes from the grill, pulling off any of the skin that stuck to the grill. Remove the onion as well.
• Place all of the tomatoes in a large blender with the onion. Remove the peppers from the brown paper bag. Using gloves as necessary, peel the peppers and pull the stems off. I leave the seeds in, but you can try and remove them if you prefer a milder salsa. Place the peppers into the blender.
• Add the remaining ingredients and blend until puree. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If salsa is too thick, you can thin with water to required consistency.
