Roasted Salsa
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs tomatoes - I used fresh early girl and yellow plum from the garden, about 6 early girls and a handful or two of the plums. I'm guessing it's around 2 lbs.
- 4 cloves garlic, skin on
- 1 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
- 5 chipotle chilies in sauce - adjust up or down for your own heat level
- juice of 2 limes - add another if your limes are small, hard, or you really like lime
- Salt to taste
- Cilantro to taste - I didn't have any, so mine is without, but it would be great with
- Under a high broiler, broil the tomatoes and garlic in a lightly oiled glass pan. This took about 20 minutes in my oven, just broil until the skin is turning dark and crispy.
- In a food processor, combine the chilies, lime juice, onion, and roasted veggies. Take off the garlic skins before adding. I also squeezed out about half of the seeds & juice in my tomatoes. It still made a pretty loose salsa, so if you like chunkier, squeeze out even more juice. Pulse to combine. If adding cilantro, add after the tomatoes and onions start to break down. Taste & add salt accordingly. Store bought tomatoes might also need some sugar added, though the broiling should bring out the natural sugars quite nicely.
- Let cool and enjoy! You can use this hot, but the cooling time will bring the flavors together nicely.
