Ingredients

  1. 8 Roma tomatoes, halved
  2. 4 cloves garlic
  3. 1 small white onion, quartered
  4. 1 jalapeno, stemmed, halved and partially seeded
  5. 1 poblano pepper, stemmed and halved
  6. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 2 limes, zested and juiced
  9. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, jalapeno and poblano onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until charred in spots, about 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

It was VERY sweet and tasted flat. Followed the recipe as written. Very disappointed.

I am obsessed with this recipe. Easy to do, everyone loves it. I can not eat onions so I omit them and use more garlic, friends have made it per recipe and they rave as well. Make this recipe now!!!

Ree…you did it again!!! OMG this salsa is to die for…the smell of it roasting in the oven, was an indication of how good it was going to taste…
If you could do me one favor…could you reply to my message, so I know you read it…
Thanks Ree

I do this on my smoker. 180° for about 30 minutes to get the smoke flavor. Crank it up to the 450° and follow the recipe and directions from there. Turns out amazing!
Andrew Gordon
VERY tasty. I didn’t have enough tomatoes but added 2 tomatillos and it was tangy and delicious. The lime zing is perfect as well as the heat (I didn’t have poblano but added a second jalapeño).

Love it and so does my family. Left out the lime zest and cilantro and added a little Sriracha when blending.
William Thomas
Very easy and really good! Just the right amount of spice. This will be my go-to salsa from now on!

Yummy. I zested one lime and didn’t even use all the juice from it. I took out the peppers and some of the very soft tomatoes and threw the rest under the broiler for a few minutes to brown up a little bit.  Next time will keep some of the seeds in to give it a little more flavor.

This is my go to salsa recipe, everyone always loves it. I always go generous on the lime zest and add extra jalapeños, but I like medium-hot heat.
