Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs ripe tomatoes, each tomato halved
  • 2 red onions, cut into 6ths
  • 2 poblano peppers, halved
  • 2 jalepeno peppers, halved

  • 2 ½ teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 bunch cilantro


Instructions

  1. Turn on the oven’s broiler.
  2. If you want less heat in your salsa, remove the seeds from the peppers. If you like it hot, keep them!
  3. Place all tomatoes, and peppers cut side down on a cooking sheet. Add the onion pieces.
  4. Broil until the tomatoes and peppers show slight charring. Rotate the pan as needed to distribute charring evenly.
  5. Remove from oven when tomatoes and peppers are blistered and charred.
  6. Let the tomatoes and peppers cool. (So they don’t wilt the cilantro!)
  7. Once cooled, add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl of a large food processor.
  8. Add the salt, cumin, lime juice and garlic.
  9. Pulse briefly until the large chunks are broken up.
  10. Add the cilantro and pulse until well combined watching for the consistency of salsa you desire.
  11. Taste test and enjoy your salsa!
