With two types of tomatoes - standard Jersey and plum - this salsa takes full advantage of summer's bounty. Herbes de Provence and shallots stand in for the traditional seasonings of cilantro and onions, which means it skews slightly, and delightfully, French. We like it with grilled fish or chicken.

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA



Roasted Tomato Salsa image

Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Side     Roast     Steam

Yield makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 jalapeño, stemmed and halved
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Roast the Vegetables
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place all of the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two sheets. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are shriveled up and develop bits of deep brown spots of color.
  • Puree the Vegetables
  • Transfer all of the roasted vegetables to a blender and add the vinegar and water. Puree until smooth. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
  • Serve or Store
  • Transfer to a serving bowl if using right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate if storing.
  • COOKING NOTES
  • INGREDIENTS
  • Tomatoes
  • Even though I use cherry tomatoes in the recipe, any type of tomato would work well here. Just keep in mind that larger ones will take longer to roast. Also, the sweeter the tomato, the sweeter the salsa.
  • TECHNIQUES
  • Roasting
  • Roasting vegetables really brings out their natural flavors by doing two things: dehydrating them concentrates their flavors and caramelizing them brings our their sweetness.
  • In order to achieve this you need a hot oven and the vegetables need space. Do not overcrowd or stack your vegetables because that will cause them to steam and not roast.
  • ADVANCE PREPARATION
  • If placed in an airtight container, the salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA



Roasted Tomato Salsa image

'From Rick Bayless' cookbook Mexican Everyday. I love this because you can make this in the winter when fresh tomatoes aren't available. It's important to use high quality fire-roasted tomatoes - preferably organic. I like Muir Glen.

Provided by Nanners

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 fresh jalapeno chilies
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 a lime, juice of
1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Dry roast the garlic and the jalapenos over medium heat in a skillet until soft and blotchy black spots appear. This should take 10-15 minutes, and the jalapenos may be done sooner than the garlic.
  • Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse the onions in a strainer with cold water. Drain thoroughly, lightly squeezing out water with a paper towel if needed. Place onions in a large glass bowl.
  • After roasting, remove the stems from the jalapenos. If you like super spicy salsa, do not remove the seeds. If you like it milder, remove the seeds or some of them. Remove the papery skin from the garlic.
  • Place jalapenos and garlic into food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes and their juice and pulse until it's of your desired consistency. I like mine chunkier.
  • Pour this mixture on top of the onions and mix.
  • Add the cilantro and stir thoroughly.
  • Taste and season with salt and lime juice.
  • Note: if you won't be using the salsa for a few hours, wait until closer to serving to add the onion and cilantro.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a great salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and slightly soft to the touch. - Roast the tomatoes before making the salsa. This concentrates their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky, roasted flavor. - Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the salsa. This will give it a complex, well-rounded flavor. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic, and cilantro. - Don't over-process the salsa. You want it to have a chunky texture, so only pulse it in the food processor a few times. - Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It's also great to freeze for later use.

Conclusion:

Roasted tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping tacos, burritos, and nachos, or it can be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. It's also a great way to add flavor to grilled meats, fish, or poultry.
