ROASTED GREEN TOMATO SALSA

My sister inspired me to make a green salsa similar to how you would make one by roasting tomatillos, but using all green tomatoes instead. This is a tangy and fresh tasting salsa using fresh lime juice and cilantro. Change the peppers and spices to your liking! Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish.

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 green tomatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 ripe tomatoes (red, orange or yellow; about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 small red onion, diced fine
1 1/2 teaspoons minced roasted garlic
3 -4 jalapeno peppers (or to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In an ungreased iron skillet or comal, roast the jalapenos over medium heat, turning frequently, until blistered and charred, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the jalapenos from the pan and soak them in a bowl of ice water, and when they have cooled, rub off the charred outer skin with your fingers and throw the skin away.
  • Stem and deseed the chiles and dice them very fine, and set aside.
  • Core the tomatoes and remove as many seeds as possible; cut into a fine dice and place in a bowl with all other ingredients; stir well to blend.
  • Check seasoning in salsa and allow to sit for 1 hour or so before serving to develop flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use firm, green tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have a low moisture content and cook down quickly.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, add a bright, flavorful note to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: The salsa should be cooked just until the tomatoes are softened and the flavors have melded. Overcooking the salsa will make it mushy and bland.
  • Serve the salsa immediately: Roasted green tomato salsa is best served fresh. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the flavor will be best on the day it is made.

Conclusion:

Roasted green tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. With its smoky, tangy flavor, roasted green tomato salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
