Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa on the Grill
Throw your veggies on the grill and make fire roasted salsa- an amplified version of traditional tomato salsa that gets a boost of flavor from char and smoke from a charcoal grill.
Ingredients
- 5 vine tomatoes
- 2 jalapeños
- 1 head of garlic
- 5 cambray onions or one large red onion sliced into rings
- ½ bunch of cilantro
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- ¼ tsp. cumin
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a charcoal grill up and get it to about 400 degrees. This is not an exact science but get your coals nice and hot so you can char your veggies.
- Grill the vegetables until blackened on all sides, 10 to 15 per side.
- Transfer vegetables to a blender or food processor pulse once for a chunky consistency, or three times for a purée consistency.
- Transfer to a salsa bowl. Add the cumin, oregano, chopped cilantro, lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Give everything a stir and enjoy!
