My review
Fire-Roasted Cherry Tomato Salsa
Chef John
"This gorgeous salsa would shine on any big-game snack table. The fire-roasting brings out a tremendous amount of flavor and provides just the right touch of smoky goodness. I'm sure your friends are more than happy with the jarred stuff, but once in a while it's nice to see if they're paying attention."

Ready In
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
- Spread tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers onto prepared baking sheet.
- Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet and continue broiling until vegetables are charred, about 5 minutes more. Cool slightly.
- Remove garlic from skins; discard skins.
- Blend tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, jalapenos, any accumulated juices from the baking sheet, cilantro leaves, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and oregano in a blender until salsa is smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and black pepper.

It's a great way to use all those cherry tomatoes! I wish I had read all the reviews first, as 3 jalapeños makes it too hot for my taste, but otherwise, it's great.

This was wonderful even though I didn't add the peppers (husband can't handle chile peppers of any kind). I did add some red and green bell pepper. Thank you Chef John!

Very delicious! I didn't have enough cherry tomatoes so I sliced regular tomatoes and roasted extra long to get that char. Best salsa I think I've ever had!
