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
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately or cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
