    Instructions:

    Preheat the broiler.

    In a medium baking dish, place tomatoes, onion and Serrano pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

    Checking often, broil 5 to 10 minutes, or until outsides of vegetables are charred.

    Terri's Tips

  • This recipe is good with yellow tomatoes too. Use both red and yellow tomatoes for a beautiful presentation.
  • Make sure the tomatoes are in season for better flavor, texture and price
  • If tomatoes are not in season, use diced canned tomatoes, drained.
  • The roasted garlic will be like a paste, to incorporate it into the salsa first mix it with the vinegar until well blended.
