This chunky roasted tomato salsa is rich and spicy and a perfect accompaniment to your next Mexican fiesta or grill night.
I’m throwing in an extra post this week because I really feel like this salsa deserves it’s own post. It’s super simple to put together but it has an interesting twist or two.
This recipe came about as I wanted a salsa that would go nicely with empanadas because, well, you’ll see on Thursday 🙂
For this tomato salsa, I used a combination of fresh and roasted cherry tomatoes. I also roasted up some onion, garlic and chilli along with the tomatoes, then blitzed it all to a thick puree. While the vegetables were roasting, I made up a quick onion pickle to stir through the salsa at the end. The flavour packs a super enjoyable punch.
It’s the perfect combination of sweetness, spiciness and sourness and perfect for dipping empanadas. For that matter, it’d be the perfect addition to grilled meats, tacos, nachos and enchiladas too. You see where I’m heading with this, but I just had this thought, it’d go great on a burger too. Yum!
So, if you’re having a Mexican fiesta, grill night or just need a good chip dip, this Chunky Roasted Tomato Salsa is the only one you need.
