Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe plum or Roma tomatoes (about 8), cut in half
  • 3 fresh jalapeños
  • 1 medium white onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro including soft stems
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler to 450 or highest setting.
  • Arrange tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, and garlic on a sheet pan.
  • Roast until charred on all sides, about 12 to 15 minutes - flesh should be soft with spots that are blackened.
  • Transfer roasted vegetables along with the juice, to the food processor or blender with the cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse a few times - you want the mixture to have a coarse texture.

You can spoon this over grilled baked broiled pan seared fish, chicken, pork, turkey, beef!
