Classic Roasted Salsa

By mschweickert

Ingredients

• 2 large tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 medium white onion, halved
• 3 jalapenos
• 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier if it is browning too quickly).

Discard garlic skins. In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Add lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.

Transfer salsa to a bowl and stir in cilantro.
