ROASTED JALAPEñO-TOMATO SALSA WITH FRESH CILANTRO
Steps:
- 1. Heat the broiler. Lay the whole tomatoes and jalapeños out on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and broil for about 6 minutes, until darkly roasted - even blackened in spots - on one side (the tomato skins will split and curl in places). With a pair of tongs, flip over the tomatoes and chiles and roast the other side for another 6 minutes or so. The goal is not simply to char the tomatoes and chiles, but to cook them through while developing nice, roasty flavors. Set aside to cool.
- 2. Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Separate the onions into rings. On a similar pan or baking sheet, combine the onion and garlic. Roast in the oven, stirring carefully every couple of minutes, until the onions are beautifully browned and wilted (even have a touch of char on some of the edges) and the garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Cool to room temperature.
- 3. For a little less rustic texture or if you're canning the salsa, pull off the peels from the cooled tomatoes and cut out the "cores" where the stems were attached, working over your baking sheet so as not to waste any juices. In a food processor, pulse the jalapeños (no need to peel or seed them) with the onion and garlic until moderately finely chopped, scraping everything down with a spatula as needed to keep it all moving around. Scoop into a big bowl. Without washing the processor, coarsely puree the tomatoes - with all that juice that has accumulated around them - and add them to the bowl. Stir in enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
- 4. Taste and season with salt and vinegar, remembering that this condiment should be a little fiesty in its seasoning. If you're planning to use your salsa right away, simply pour it into a bowl and it's ready, or refrigerate it covered and use within 5 days.
ROASTED JALAPENO AND TOMATO SALSA
Originally from Rick Bayless, adapted to my own taste. I think this is a medium hot salsa. Heat level can be adjusted up or down with the habaneros.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast the jalapeños: Roasting the jalapeños will give them a smoky, slightly sweet flavor. If you like your salsa spicy, leave the seeds in. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds before roasting.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro is essential for giving salsa its bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the salsa: Salsa is best when it's fresh and chunky. Don't cook it for too long, or it will lose its flavor and texture.
- Chill the salsa before serving: Salsa is best served chilled. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
This roasted jalapeño tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes, as a dip for chips, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
