Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 green tomatoes
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 2 green chilies
  • 2-4 garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 onion
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ cup cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the diced onion and green tomatoes in a baking sheet along with jalapenos, garlic and green chilies.
  • Oven roast for 8-12 minutes at a high temperature until they develop some char.
  • Remove, let them cool and transfer them to a blender jar along with the remaining ingredients.
  • Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.

Notes

  • Use firm, unripe green tomatoes for the best tangy flavor. Avoid soft or ripening tomatoes, as they may make the salsa sweeter.
  • Remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños for a milder salsa, or reduce the number of green chilies.
  • Spread the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet so they roast evenly and develop lightly charred edges.
  • Keep an eye on the garlic while roasting, as it can burn faster than the other vegetables.
  • Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly before blending with the fresh cilantro, lime juice, and cumin.
  • Pulse the ingredients for a chunky salsa, or blend until smooth for a pourable green sauce.
  • Add extra lime juice for more tanginess, or a small splash of water if the salsa is too thick.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, burrito bowls, grilled chicken, or scrambled eggs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Stir well before serving.
