Roasted Tomato and Mint Salsa Ingredients:
6 large roma tomatoes, tops removed |
1 garlic clove |
2 tablespoons lime juice (one mexican lime) |

1/2 teaspoon lime zest |
1/2 teaspoon orange zest |

5. Mix together and let stand at least 30 minutes before using.
6. Mark Miller writes: Ripe red tomatoes roasted on a hot steel comal until the skins blacken are a basic element of many Mexican salsas. The smoky flavor adds a complexity to the taste of ripe tomatoes. .
