Ingredients

4 Roma tomatoes, cored

1 serrano chile, stemmed

1 small shallot, peeled

2 1/2 tablespoons chicken broth (homemade or canned low-sodium)

1 small handful fresh cilantro sprigs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat a medium heavy griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the whole tomatoes, serrano chile and shallot and roast on the dry skillet, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
  2. Transfer the vegetables and chile to a food processor and add the chicken broth and cilantro. Pulse until smooth but with some small pieces remaining, or to the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Didn't have shallots, so used yellow onion. Didn't have a serrano pepper so used a jalapeno - and added garlic as well as the other ingredients. Very tasty - and healthy! Next time I'll cut up ingredients into smaller pieces and roast longer or maybe even broil in the oven...
