ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Roast the Vegetables
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place all of the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two sheets. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are shriveled up and develop bits of deep brown spots of color.
• Puree the Vegetables
• Transfer all of the roasted vegetables to a blender and add the vinegar and water. Puree until smooth. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Serve or Store
• Transfer to a serving bowl if using right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate if storing.
• COOKING NOTES
• INGREDIENTS
• Tomatoes
• Even though I use cherry tomatoes in the recipe, any type of tomato would work well here. Just keep in mind that larger ones will take longer to roast. Also, the sweeter the tomato, the sweeter the salsa.
• TECHNIQUES
• Roasting
• Roasting vegetables really brings out their natural flavors by doing two things: dehydrating them concentrates their flavors and caramelizing them brings our their sweetness.
• In order to achieve this you need a hot oven and the vegetables need space. Do not overcrowd or stack your vegetables because that will cause them to steam and not roast.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• If placed in an airtight container, the salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Place on the baking sheet, cut sides down where applicable, and roast until the tomatoes are tender and skins begin to shrivel and brown, 35-45 minutes.
• Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• With tongs, transfer roasted onions, garlic and jalapenos to food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about10 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add tomatoes and process until they're chunky - 5-10 seconds more.
• Pour into serving dish and stir in reserved minced jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Add salt to taste.
• NB - If your tomatoes are very acidic, add sugar, a little at a time, to mellow the flavor to suit your taste.

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Dry roast the garlic and the jalapenos over medium heat in a skillet until soft and blotchy black spots appear. This should take 10-15 minutes, and the jalapenos may be done sooner than the garlic.
• Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse the onions in a strainer with cold water. Drain thoroughly, lightly squeezing out water with a paper towel if needed. Place onions in a large glass bowl.
• After roasting, remove the stems from the jalapenos. If you like super spicy salsa, do not remove the seeds. If you like it milder, remove the seeds or some of them. Remove the papery skin from the garlic.
• Place jalapenos and garlic into food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes and their juice and pulse until it's of your desired consistency. I like mine chunkier.
• Pour this mixture on top of the onions and mix.
• Add the cilantro and stir thoroughly.
• Taste and season with salt and lime juice.
• Note: if you won't be using the salsa for a few hours, wait until closer to serving to add the onion and cilantro.
