Roasted Veggies Salsa

This one is easy. To make about 5 cups of salsa you will need:
- 7 roma tomatoes
- 1 onion
- about 7 green onions
- 1 jalapeno
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- cilantro
- lemon juice

1. Clean the vegetables and: remove the stem of the tomatoes, cut off the end of the green onions, cut the onion in half, and remove skin from garlic.

2. Put the veggies on a bowl and sprinkle some olive oil followed by salt and pepper making sure the veggies are covered with a thin layer.

3. Place the veggies on a bbq until they are brown on every side.



4. Let the veggies cool off, place them on a blender and add about 1/2 a cup of lemon juice. You could always add more or less lemon depending on your tartness preference. I also added only half of the jalapeno first in order to check for spiciness.

5. Grind everything until you reach your desired chunkiness.

This is a great present for your family and friends. In fact, my wife in I decided to make our own presents this year and this one was one of them. Happy cooking!
