Ultimate Red Salsa
Our Ultimate Red Salsa is a bold and fiery concoction, crafted from a blend of ripe tomatoes, spicy chili peppers, and aromatic spices, delivering a vibrant and robust flavor that's perfect for adding a zesty kick to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
- 10 Roma tomatoes halved
- 1 large jalapeno stem removed
- 3/4 red bell pepper seeds removed & cut into 2 in. pieces
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic skin removed
- 1 medium white onion quartered
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro fresh
Instructions
- Move oven rack near the top of the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Place tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, bell pepper, and garlic into an oven safe pan (preferably a cast iron skillet). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a 1/2 tsp. kosher salt. Place in oven and cook until charred, flipping occasionally throughout the cook time.
