Ingredients
- 4 medium-size tomatoes Add to list
- 3 mild chiles (Anaheim or poblano)* Add to list
- 1 hot chile (jalapeño or cayenne)* Add to list
- 1 teaspoon olive oil Add to list
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro Add to list
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Add to list
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400° F. Rinse the tomatoes and chiles, and dry them with a towel. Using your hands, rub them with olive oil. Roast them for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the skins soften and turn brown.
When they’re cool enough to handle, remove the stems from the chiles and the cores from the tops of the tomatoes. Mix them in a food processor or blender along with the cilantro, vinegar and salt. Serve.
Notes
*I use both mild and hot chiles in this recipe. It doesn’t take many hot ones to make a spicy salsa, and the mild ones add flavor as well. If you like it really spicy you can use more of the hot ones, and if you like it milder, you can leave out the hot ones altogether.
