Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces green tomatoes (about 5 small)
- 1 jalapeño pepper (without seeds)
- 3 large cloves garlic
- 1 medium white onion
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Prep your veggies. Peel the garlic. Peel and quarter the onion. Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño. (Save the seeds for a hot salsa.) If tomatoes are large, quarter them; otherwise, leave them whole.
- Place the green tomatoes, garlic, onion, and jalapeño on a baking sheet. Broil on high for 4 to 5 minutes until just beginning to blacken.
- Flip and rotate the veggies and broil another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer everything to a food processor or blender, except use only 1/2 of the jalapeño.
- Add the cilantro, kosher salt, and lime juice. Pulse until the desired consistency is reached.
- Taste, and if you’d like it hotter, add the other 1/2 of the jalapeño and/or some seeds. You may want to refrigerate until serving, since the salsa will be warm from the roasting, or leave it at room temperature until serving. Stores up to 1 week refrigerated.
