Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Immersion Blender or Blender

Ingredients

  • 6-7 fresh garden tomatoes, sliced lengthwise, stem & core removed
  • ¼ yellow onion, chopped into large pieces & separated
  • 2 green onions, tops trimmed
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano, chopped
  • 1-2 large cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • Handful of cilantro leaves, chopped **DO NOT ROAST THE CILANTRO
  • Juice of ½ lime

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment foil (easier cleanup) and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Slice the tomatoes lengthwise and put them in the center of the baking sheet. Add separated pieces of onion, green onion & jalapeno on and around the tomato.
  • Place garlic slivers inside the tomato halves to protect them from burning and infuse the tomatoes with garlic flavor.
  • Drizzle olive oil over vegetables and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until tomatoes are soft & juicy and the onions are tender.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Once the vegetables have cooled, spoon the mixture into a large container.
  • Add the fresh cilantro and lime juice and blend using an immersion blender or regular blender to your desired degree of chunkiness.
  • Cover and set aside for a few hours before serving, so the flavors can mingle. Taste and re-season if needed. Enjoy.
