Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa

From the Keri Fisher collection

Introduction

Wait until your local tomatoes are at their peak, then make this punchy salsa.

Ingredients

	4	medium tomatoes (about 1½ pounds), cored and quartered
	1	medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into large pieces
	2	jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
	1	medium red onion, roughly chopped
	4	medium cloves garlic
	2	Tbsp. vegetable oil
	¼	cup fresh cilantro
	2	Tbsp. olive oil
	~	Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

Set the oven to 500 degrees and position a rack in the center. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, both kinds of pepper, onion, garlic, and vegetable oil. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook 15 minutes or until soft. Set oven to broil and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until edges begin to blacken. Set aside to cool slightly.
When cool, transfer roasted vegetables to a food processor; add cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and pulse 4 to 6 times, or until coarsely chopped. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
