ROASTED JALAPEñO-TOMATO SALSA WITH FRESH CILANTRO

Steps:

• 1. Heat the broiler. Lay the whole tomatoes and jalapeños out on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and broil for about 6 minutes, until darkly roasted - even blackened in spots - on one side (the tomato skins will split and curl in places). With a pair of tongs, flip over the tomatoes and chiles and roast the other side for another 6 minutes or so. The goal is not simply to char the tomatoes and chiles, but to cook them through while developing nice, roasty flavors. Set aside to cool.
• 2. Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Separate the onions into rings. On a similar pan or baking sheet, combine the onion and garlic. Roast in the oven, stirring carefully every couple of minutes, until the onions are beautifully browned and wilted (even have a touch of char on some of the edges) and the garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Cool to room temperature.
• 3. For a little less rustic texture or if you're canning the salsa, pull off the peels from the cooled tomatoes and cut out the "cores" where the stems were attached, working over your baking sheet so as not to waste any juices. In a food processor, pulse the jalapeños (no need to peel or seed them) with the onion and garlic until moderately finely chopped, scraping everything down with a spatula as needed to keep it all moving around. Scoop into a big bowl. Without washing the processor, coarsely puree the tomatoes - with all that juice that has accumulated around them - and add them to the bowl. Stir in enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
• 4. Taste and season with salt and vinegar, remembering that this condiment should be a little fiesty in its seasoning. If you're planning to use your salsa right away, simply pour it into a bowl and it's ready, or refrigerate it covered and use within 5 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
• Mince 1 of the jalapenos and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the remaining jalapenos, tomatoes halves, onion, garlic, tomato paste, 1 tsp salt, 2 tablespoons oil, cumin and cayenne. Toss gently to thoroughly mix. Place on the baking sheet, cut sides down where applicable, and roast until the tomatoes are tender and skins begin to shrivel and brown, 35-45 minutes.
• Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• With tongs, transfer roasted onions, garlic and jalapenos to food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about10 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add tomatoes and process until they're chunky - 5-10 seconds more.
• Pour into serving dish and stir in reserved minced jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Add salt to taste.
• NB - If your tomatoes are very acidic, add sugar, a little at a time, to mellow the flavor to suit your taste.

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Roast the Vegetables
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place all of the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two sheets. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are shriveled up and develop bits of deep brown spots of color.
• Puree the Vegetables
• Transfer all of the roasted vegetables to a blender and add the vinegar and water. Puree until smooth. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Serve or Store
• Transfer to a serving bowl if using right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate if storing.
• COOKING NOTES
• INGREDIENTS
• Tomatoes
• Even though I use cherry tomatoes in the recipe, any type of tomato would work well here. Just keep in mind that larger ones will take longer to roast. Also, the sweeter the tomato, the sweeter the salsa.
• TECHNIQUES
• Roasting
• Roasting vegetables really brings out their natural flavors by doing two things: dehydrating them concentrates their flavors and caramelizing them brings our their sweetness.
• In order to achieve this you need a hot oven and the vegetables need space. Do not overcrowd or stack your vegetables because that will cause them to steam and not roast.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• If placed in an airtight container, the salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
