Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe
Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe: Smoky, flavorful salsa made with oven-roasted tomatoes, chilies, garlic, and spices, perfect as a dip or topping.
Ingredients
- 7-8 tomatoes small
- 1 onion
- 3 red hot chilli peppers (reduce the quantity if wants less spicy)
- 2 green chilies
- 4-5 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
- 1 tbsp oil
- Handful of coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
- Juice of half lemon
Instructions
- Cut tomatoes into halves. We have taken 8 tomatoes because we were having the small one. If you have the medium or small one, take the quantity accordingly.
- Arrange them on baking tray.
- Cut the stem part of red hot chilli peppers and green chilies and place on tray.
- Also place diced onion and garlic cloves with peels.
- Drizzle oil all over them.
- Bake in a preheated oven @220°C for 30 minutes.
- Take the tray out of the oven and let it cool down a bit so that you can handle it with bare hands.
- Remove the skin of tomatoes, chilies and peel garlic. You can remove the seeds of chilies as well to reduce the heat.
- Put all in a chopper and also add add coriander leaves.
- Chop chunky or smooth, choice is yours. We kelp it chunky . In case you don't have chopper, you can blend them in grinder (on pulse mode for chunky , on normal mode for smooth) but for that, the mixture should be completely cool.
- Once done, take it out in a bowl.
- Add salt, black pepper powder and lemon juice. Mix.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips
Notes
We have made this salsa too spicy. You can balance the spiciness as per your choice by reducing the amount of red hot chillies or green chillies and also by removing the seeds of Red Hot chilies as they play a vital role in bringing the spiciness to the chilies.
