Looking for an easy way to please your family and friends? Learn how to make a versatile salsa that tastes authentic!

Using fire roasted tomatoes gives this recipe a rich taste than using raw tomatoes. Adjust the spice by adjusting the amount of serrano peppers.


Ingredients

  • 6-8 small vine ripened organic tomatoes.
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • 1-2 serrano peppers (seeds removed)
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. To fire roast the tomatoes, put them in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet (do not use your thermalon/green pans for this – they will be scarred for life) with no oil.

    Turn the heat to medium high and let them blacken on the skins. Turn periodically until the tomatoes are nicely charred.

    Transfer tomatoes to a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend well.

    This salsa is terrific served warm but can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
