Charred Tomato Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, unpeeled
- 1 1/4" thick slice of large white onion
- 1 jalapeno or serrano
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Put the tomatoes, garlic, onion and chile on a baking sheet and broil 5 minutes. Pull the baking sheet out and turn everything over.
- Put the baking sheet back under the broiler and broil another 5-7 minutes. The tomatoes should be charred and a bit mushy.
- NOTE: If you don't want to broil them, you can char everything in a cast iron or other heavy skillet.
- Take the skin off the garlic clove then it in a food processor, along with the onion slice, the tomatoes and any juices, salt, and half of the jalapeno.
- Blend until smooth and then taste for heat. Add the other chile if you want it hotter.
