Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs ripe tomatoes (Roma or plum)
- 1 small white onion, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1–2 jalapeños or serrano peppers (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat broiler or grill to high heat.
- Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, and peppers on a baking sheet or grill. Roast, turning occasionally, until charred and softened, about 10–12 minutes.
- Let cool slightly. Peel garlic and remove stems (and seeds for milder heat) from peppers.
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Pulse until desired texture is reached — chunky or smooth.
- Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- Roasting over an open flame adds more smokiness.
- Use a mix of tomatoes for complex flavor.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for later use.
- Add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika for extra depth.
