How to Make Roasted Tomato Salsa

  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) or prepare your grill for medium heat.
  2. Halve 2 lbs of ripe tomatoes and place them cut-side down on a large baking sheet. Place 2 bell peppers, halved and seeded, alongside the tomatoes. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are nicely charred and blistered and the peppers are softened.
  3. Remove from oven or grill and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, gently core the tomatoes (no need to peel).
  4. Peel, stem, and seed the roasted bell peppers.
  5. Remove the skin from 1 medium red onion and peel 4 cloves of garlic.
  6. Roughly chop the onion and garlic. Add them to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
  7. Add the roasted tomatoes and peppers to the food processor. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a few pulses to avoid over-processing.
  8. Transfer the salsa to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salsa to cool completely. This step is crucial for developing the best flavor!
