Green Tomato Habanero Salsa

Note from the cook:

Green tomatoes are under-ripe and therefore firm and more astringent. Broiling them improves the texture and flavor.

Serving Size:

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

• 1 lb green tomatoes, thickly sliced crosswise

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 1 or 2 habanero pepper, stemmed and seeded

• 1 clove of garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions:

1. Set the broiler to high.

2. Arrange tomatoes on a sheet pan, sprinkle with salt.

3. Broil for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are light brown and bubbling.

4. Place tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor.

5. Pulse until salsa is smooth but chunky.
