Salsa Roja

A bright, smoky Mexican red salsa made with roasted tomatoes, toasted chiles, garlic, and fresh cilantro. It is balanced enough for dipping yet lively enough to spoon over tacos, eggs, grilled meats, or beans.

Zubereitung

1
Heat a dry cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and serrano cut-side down and cook for 8–12 minutes, turning the onion and chile once, until the tomatoes are softened and charred in spots.

2
Cool the roasted vegetables for 3 minutes, then peel the garlic completely, removing all tough papery skin. Transfer the tomatoes, onion, garlic, serrano, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to a blender.
3
Blend for 15–25 seconds, stopping once to scrape the sides, until the salsa is mostly smooth but still flecked with cilantro and chile. Avoid over-blending into a completely uniform purée.
4
Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice if needed. Let the salsa rest for 10 minutes so the roasted flavors settle, then serve at room temperature or chill until cold.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

Roasting concentrates the tomatoes and softens the garlic while lightly charring the chiles, creating a salsa with layered sweetness, gentle bitterness, and fresh herbal lift.
