Green Recipe ✶ Roasted Green Tomato Salsa

My sister inspired me to make a green salsa similar to how you would make one by roasting tomatillos, but using all green tomatoes instead. This is a tangy and fresh tasting salsa using fresh lime juice and cilantro. Change the peppers and spices to your liking! Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish.

Ingredients

• 1 pound green tomatoes, cored and cut into chunks
• 1 medium yellow onion, cut into chunks
• 2 medium jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
• ½ large green bell pepper, top and seeds removed
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¾ cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Place green tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, bell pepper, and garlic on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables start to char, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
4. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, cumin, and black pepper. Process until well blended. Chill until serving.
