Best Ever Restaurant Style Salsa!

Ingredients

  • 9 roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut the roma tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds.
  • Cut the jalapenos in half. (Remove the seeds if you’d like a milder salsa)
  • Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top of the tomatoes and jalapeno and season with salt and pepper.
  • On a preheated grill or stove top griller, place the tomatoes and jalapenos face down.
  • Cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes and then flip over. Cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat and place in a blender or food processor with roughly chopped onion, garlic, cilantro and lime juice and another ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Pulse until your desired thickness of salsa. Check for taste and adjust ingredients as necessary.

Cooks Note: I always start with one half of the jalapeno and add more if necessary. I ended up adding the other half, another small handful of cilantro and ½ teaspoon of salt. If you like a sweeter salsa, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar.
