This salsa is a great accompaniment to many dishes, and as a dipping sauce for the more lesuirely occasions, such as when using with nachos and similar "dipping" type dishes. Its very easy to make, and uses a sweet and spicy element to please a number of palates.
You will need:
300g cherry vine tomatoes, vine tomatoes, or plum vine tomatoes.
2 teaspoons jalapeno chillies chopped
1 clove garlic, sliced very thinly.
2 spring onions, chopped finely.
tbsp fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
The doing bit:
First cut the tomatoes in half and place on a baking tray. On each tomato half add 1 slice of garlic and a blade of rosemary, and a few drops of the red wine vinegar and a sprinlking of salt. Place the tomatoes in a warm oven 9/about 170C) for about 40 mins until they begin to shrink and caramelise slightly. remove fromt he oven and allow to cool.
IN a mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients, allowing the tomatoes to break up (dont be shy). Taste the mixture ans season accordingly. For extra sweetness add a tablespoon of honey of maple syrup.
Enjoy.
