Quick-Roasted Salsa

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

  • 8 Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 small white onion, quartered
  • 1 jalapeno, stemmed, halved and partially seeded
  • 1 poblano pepper, stemmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, jalapeno and poblano onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until charred in spots, about 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

  3. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the lime zest and juice and puree until smooth, being careful not to fill the blender too full. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Goes great with chips or alongside enchiladas.
