This photo is by me, can’t you tell the difference?
This week, hgtv.com featured my One Pot Salsa Garden. Check it out to find my tips to grow everything you need for summer salsa, all in one pot. It’s such a fun, practical way to have the flavors of summer right outside your kitchen door. Along with the salsa garden, they shared one of my favorite recipes, Roasted Garden Salsa. So grab a pot (the bigger the better) and get planting!
My favorite, most durable markers are also the easiest- check them out here.
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, Roma or plum
2 jalapeños
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh cilantro, chopped
First, roast your tomatoes and jalapeños. You can do this either on a gas stove or broil on a sheet pan in the oven. It should take about five minutes turning periodically so you ensure even blistering of the skins.
Cool on a plate until you can handle with your hands. Under cool water peel the jalapeños, discarding the stem and seeds. Give it a rough chop.
Peel the tomatoes (the skin should come right off) and give the tomatoes a rough chop, too. Mix together in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add salt, and to finish, stir in chopped fresh cilantro to taste. Serve.
