Smoky Fiesta Salsa

Prep Time: 30 to 45 minutes         Yield: 6-8 Cups

Ingredients

• ~2 pounds Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise

• 6 unpeeled garlic cloves

• 1 large white onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds

• 1 large jalapeño, cored* and halved

• 1 large handful fresh cilantro

• 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lime juice

• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• .25g RSO/FSO (Available at Thrive)

Instructions

1. Preheat broiler to high.

2. Arrange the tomatoes (skin side up), garlic cloves, onion and jalapeño (skin side up) in an even layer on a large baking sheet.  Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the tomatoes and jalapeños have blistered and blackened pretty thoroughly on top.

3. Remove pan from the oven, and peel and discard the skin from the garlic cloves.  Transfer the tomatoes, garlic, onion, jalapeño and RSO/FSO to the bowl of a food processor or blender.  At this point (if you’re feeling impatient and hungry), you can either go ahead and add in the remaining ingredients and puree the salsa until it’s smooth while it’s warm.  

4. Taste, and season with extra salt or lime juice if needed.  Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
