Fresh Tomato Salsa

Smoky, fresh, and full of punch - this roasted tomato salsa is all about bold, simple flavour. Pan frying the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and gives the whole thing a warm, fire-kissed edge. Perfect for dipping, drizzling, or spooning over…well, pretty much anything.

Let's get Cooking

Pre-prep

Preheat your oven to 220°C.

Arrange the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeños on a baking tray.

Cook

Drizzle olive oil in a hot skillet, chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeños and stir over medium high heat for about 5-7 minutes, until everything’s soft, charred, and smelling amazing.

Blend

Let it cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin.

Add everything to a blender or food processor with the lime juice, coriander, and a pinch of salt.

Blitz until smooth - or leave it a bit chunky if that’s your style.

Give it a taste and adjust the lime or seasoning to your liking.

Enjoy

Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips, spooned over tacos, or dolloped onto grilled meats and veggies.
