Hot House Cherry Tomato Salsa Recipes

FIRE-ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
• Spread tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers onto prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet and continue broiling until vegetables are charred, about 5 minutes more. Cool slightly.
• Remove garlic from skins; discard skins.
• Blend tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, jalapenos, any accumulated juices from the baking sheet, cilantro leaves, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and oregano in a blender until salsa is smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and black pepper.

QUICK AND EASY, CHERRY TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• First, peel the onion and cut it in half. Then, add the onion and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor.
• Chop the onion and garlic, then roughly chop one jalapeño and add it to the food processor. (Exclude the membrane and seeds to reduce the heat.)
• Chop the jalapeño with the onions/garlic.
• Next, add tomatoes then cilantro to the food processor.
• Chop the tomatoes and cilantro to your desired consistency.
• This next step is optional, but I like to do it - pour the salsa into a fine metal strainer over a bowl to get rid of any excess moisture. (The tomatoes and onions release a lot of liquid when you chop them up.) You want to do this BEFORE adding the salt and lime juice because you will strain out the salt and lime otherwise.
• Return the strained salsa to a bowl (or the food processor), then add salt and the juice of a lime.
• Mix well, then taste. Adjust with more salt, lime, and cilantro if needed. Serve with tortilla chips.
