Essential Roasted Tomato -Jalapeno Salsa

Great salsa and worth the extra effort. I used the griddle method of roasting the tomatoes, chilies and garlic. Left overnight the flavors marry into a delicious accompaniment to tacos, rice, eggs and protein.

This is the first salsa I ever made. Its easy tasty and gets better with age.

I liked that the tomates were drained, not seeded. I also used the griddle method to char the tomatoes and chiles which seemed to take longer that the broiler method. I also used the food processor to grind everything up. This salsa was OK, but our favorite is still the one from the New Moosewood Cookbook.
