Categories     Appetizer     Salsas     Sauces     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 Roma tomatoes ((Regular Romas in the grocery are about 3.5 ounces each. Once seeded and chopped you will have about 4 cups.))
½ cup fresh basil leaves, removed from the stems, washed and dried
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and pulp. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  • Stack 3-4 basil leaves on top of each other. Roll them up from one of the long sides, then slice through the roll horizontally with a knife. Run your knife once or twice through these ribbons of basil, then add them to the bowl. Repeat with the rest of the basil leaves.
  • Finely mince the garlic cloves by hand or in a food processor, and add them to the bowl. Add in the oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together.
  • The salsa can be served immediately or allowed to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the salsa with tortilla or pita chips. It can also be served on bite-sized pieces of artisan sourdough or white bread-if desired, sprinkle a little mozzarella or grated Parmesan cheese over the tops and place them under the broiler for about a minute, then serve them immediately.
  • Makes about 4 cups of salsa

ROASTED-TOMATO SALSA



Roasted-Tomato Salsa image

A little time under the broiler intensifies the aroma and flavors of the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic, adding a rich, smoky flavor to this spicy dip that's a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large white onion, quartered
3 jalapeno chiles, plus more if desired
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until tomatoes and jalapenos are charred, about 7 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Peel the roasted garlic. Transfer to a blender along with the charred tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon salt. Puree until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add water as needed. Season with salt to taste.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. - Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and umami flavor. - To easily remove the tomato skins, roast the tomatoes until the skins blister and then plunge them into cold water. The skins will then slip right off. - Use fresh basil for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but use only 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe. - Add a pinch of sugar to the salsa to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. - Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice. - Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This roasted tomato and basil salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. The salsa is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. So next time you have a bumper crop of tomatoes, be sure to try this roasted tomato and basil salsa recipe. You won't be disappointed!
