Having salsa on hand is a must in summer. This homemade version is so easy, why even bother with store-bought? We love the deep, slightly smoky flavors in this version.

Time 15m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
1 medium white onion, halved
3 jalapenos
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier, if it is browning too quickly).
  • Discard garlic skins. In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Add lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.
  • Transfer salsa to a bowl and stir in cilantro. Refrigerate up to 3 days, freeze up to 3 months.
