This Roasted Tomato and Garlic Salsa Recipe is pretty much brilliant. I have been craving restaurant style salsa for weeks now, and we even went out for some recently, but the overly eager waitress cleared it from our table before I even got any! (That’s what happens when you feed the kids first).
So today I gave in and made up a batch of delicious Roasted Tomato Salsa. I’ve been eating it like crazy this afternoon, and you can bet I’m going to dump it all over my enchiladas tonight!

Thanks for the recipe! Made it tonight and it was very good! I just used regular tomatoes instead of the Roma's(they're pricey here) and they worked just fine. Used one head of garlic. The smell of the veggies roasting was torture. The consistency was weird at first, I usually make a regular chunky salsa so we're not used to salsa like this, but the flavor was fantastic and it holds onto the chip much better than a chunky salsa. Hubby is requesting I can some so we have it around LOL.
