Fire Roasted Heirloom Salsa
- 2 pounds Assorted Heirloom Tomatoes
- 1 whole Medium Red Onion, Cut Into Quarters
- 1 whole Bell Pepper, Cut In Half
- 2 whole Jalapeno Peppers
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil, Plus More For Greasing Grill
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt, Divided
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 whole Large Cloves Garlic, Pressed
- 1 whole Lime
- 13 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- Preheat a grill on high heat, and rub a grill basket generously with oil.
- Cut half of the tomatoes into large pieces, and arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet.
- To the pan, also add the quartered red onion, bell pepper halves, and the jalapeno peppers.
- Toss together with the vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper, until evenly coated.
- Arrange all of the veggies on the grill basket, and roast them, turning occasionally, until tender and beginning to char on the edges.
- Remove them from the grill, place them back on the baking sheet, and let cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, medium dice all of the roasted vegetables, and place in a large bowl.
- Note: for the jalapeno peppers, I removed the seeds and stems before dicing to cut back on the heat a bit.
- You can adjust this according to your preference.
- If youd like your salsa very spicy, dice them as is, seeds and all.
- Medium dice the remaining raw tomatoes, and add them to the bowl.
- Add the garlic, juice of one lime, and chopped cilantro.
- Stir to combine.
- Taste for seasoning, add in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, if desired, and serve.
- Note: You can make this salsa well ahead of time.
- It tastes great for days, and only gets better as the flavors have a chance to blend.
