  • 10 mins
  • 35 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cans cut tomatoes (14.5 ounce cans)
  • 1 quarter of a white onion (medium-size), coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned (or regular) salt (or to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

For the Roasted Garlic: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a large piece of foil, lay the bulb of garlic. Drizzle olive oil on top of the garlic. Lift up the edges of the foil and squeeze them together to form a “tent”. Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, open the foil and let cool. Using the flat edge of a knife or a spoon, squeeze each garlic clove out of the skin. Set aside for a moment to cool further if needed.

For the Salsa: In a blender, add the cut tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, roasted garlic and salt. Blend on the sauce setting. Do a taste test to see if more salt is needed. If so, add the salt and use the pulse setting to mix it in. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.
