Roasted Tomato Salsa with Ghost Pepper

Ingredients

  • 2-lb. ripe tomatoes, sliced in half

  • 1 white onion, papery skin removed, and sliced into 6 wedges

  • 1 garlic clove, unpeeled

  • 2 Tbs. vegetable oil

  • 1-2 tsp. Ghost Pepper Salt (4237)

  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 450F.  Place tomato halves, onion wedges, garlic clove and vegetable oil in a large bowl and toss gently to coat vegetables.  Place tomatoes, cut-side down, on a parchment-lined sheet pan and scatter the onion and garlic clove around them.  Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tomato skins are partially blackened and onions have some char.  Let vegetables cool to room temperature.

  2. Peel garlic clove.  Place the roasted vegetables, garlic clove, 1 tsp. Ghost Pepper salt, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor or blender, and pulse until finely chopped.  Taste the salsa, and if you would like more heat, add the remaining teaspoon.
