This is a fantastic AP salsa. Perfect for all of your dipping needs!
Oven Roasted Salsa, makes 2 cups
6 roma tomatoes
½ yellow onion, rough chopped
1 large Poblano pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
4 garlic cloves
2 Tbs vegetable oil
Kosher salt
½ cup fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
On a sheet pan, place the tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic cloves.
Drizzle and toss with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with some kosher salt.
Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes or until everything is soft, roasted and fragrant.
Peel the skin off of the poblano pepper and dispose of the stem. Dispose of the jalapeno stem too.
Transfer all of the vegetables to a food processor.
Add the fresh cilantro.
Pulse until you have a good, smooth consistency.
Season generously with Kosher salt to taste and garnish with green onions.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
I am such a fan of oven-roasted salsas for all their complex flavor. Thanks for this, Heather!

Heather. Heather. Heather. OH MY WORD. This salsa was SO good I literally felt tears forming in my eyes when I took the first bite- not for the spice but for the JOY of the BEST SALSA I HAVE EVER EATEN. Truly. I know that sounds like hyperbole but I mean it sincerely. I have always wanted a salsa to taste like this. Now I know my missing link: roasting. (I did add 2 T fresh lime juice). Perfection. From the bottom of my heart- THANK YOU, darling girl.

[...] – turned out great but next time I will take the seeds out of the peppers as it was pretty spicy. http://www.heatherchristo.com/cooks/2012/04/13/oven-roasted-salsa/ Easy Guacamole – http://www.goop.com/journal/make/86/mexican-dinner-family-style Ground beef tacos [...]

Great recipe exactly the one I’ve always used except with lime juice and water for right consistency. The pepper in the picture is a poblano not Anaheim.
