Hello All...with the tomato thread, it reminded me of the roasted salsa I
made a few summer ago. Delicious and sooo easy.
Halve those large tomatoes and your choice of pepper (hot or mild or a
mixture) Chop large yellow onions into fourths or eights. Place all the
veggies, cut side up for the toms and peppers, on a large cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with salt and olive oil. Roast at around 350 degrees until the
tomatoes and pepper collapse and start to brown. Onions will just brown;
you can break up the chunks a bit. When done to your satisfaction, put
everything plus any juice that's in the cooking sheet, into a food
processor. Pulse a few times. Strain to remove bits of skin or seeds. Back
into the processor. Add lots of fresh garlic and cilantro. A touch of lemon
juice if you like salsa tart. Another pulse or two to cut up the cilantro
and garlic. This has such a delicious complex flavor from the sugars that
roast out of the veggies and the browned bits that are in the mix.
Again, this is one of those non-recipes that one adapts and adjusts to
his/her liking. YUM!!
