Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh roma tomatoes, stems removed
- ½ red onion, skin removed
- 2 whole poblano peppers cut in half and seeds removed
- 2 whole jalapeños, cut in half and seeds removed
- 4 cloves garlic, skin still on
- 1 whole serrano pepper
- 1 whole lime, cut in half
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat grill using the two zone or direct/indirect method of grilling. Target 450 - 500 degrees F over the direct side of heat.
- Place all the prepared grilled ingredients on a sheet tray including, tomatoes, onion, peppers, and lime. Put the garlic in a small cast iron pan to prevent them from falling through the grate.
- Place the ingredients over direct heat. Rotate using long tongs, frequently, until the outside of the ingredients have a charred look and are soft in texture. The peppers should cook in 5 - 6 minutes. Followed by the tomatoes, lime, and garlic at 10 minutes. The onion should be done in 12 - 15 minutes depending on the size.
- Let the tomatoes and peppers cool slightly and then remove the skins. Also remove the dense stem area inside the tomatoes as well if they have any.
- Add the roasted ingredients into the blender. Squeeze the lime juice into the tomato mix. Also add the cilantro and salt. Pulse a few times and season to taste. Add more lime if lacking acidity and salt to your preferred taste.
