Total Yield About 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb green (unripe) tomatoes, sliced ¾” thick
- 1 small yellow onion, ends removed, peeled, cut in half
- 1 or 2 serrano peppers, whole
- Spray oil, or 1-2 tsp oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable oils work best)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Spread sliced tomatoes, halved onions, and whole peppers on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spray the vegetables with oil, or drizzle vegetables with 1-2 tsp oil. Toss to coat.
- Turn on the broiler in your oven and set the baking sheet on a top rack a few inches from the flames or coils. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until some of the vegetables are lightly browned with some charred spots. (If your oven does not have a broiler, use the hottest temperature your oven can reach and roast for 10 minutes or until lightly browned). Carefully rotate the baking sheet in the oven and broil for another 2-3 minutes or until most of the vegetables have turned golden brown with charred spots.
- Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven and use tongs to transfer the vegetables to a cutting board. Let rest until vegetables are cool enough to handle by hand, about 10 minutes.
- Dice all the vegetables into small pieces, about ½” cubes. You can remove the seeds of the peppers before dicing if you don’t want the salsa to be too spicy. Transfer diced vegetables to a medium bowl.Add remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Use within 4 days.
