Tools
Ingredients
1 kg
roma tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
1
small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 tbsp
olive oil
1
chipotle pepper with adobo sauce
half a bunch of fresh coriander leaves and stems
2 tbsp
roasted garlic
2-3 tbsp
fresh lime juice
sea salt
Step by step
Preheat grill and position rack about 6 inches from heat source. Place tomatoes, cut side down, on grill pan. Sprinkle onion over tomatoes and drizzle oil evenly over top. Grill, turning over as needed to cook evenly, until onion begins to blacken and tomatoes collapse, about 10 minutes.
Combine tomato-onion mixture, chipotle and sauce, coriander, garlic (if desired) and lime juice in blender jar of the KitchenAid ARTISAN Power Plus Blender. Secure lid and turn dial to Speed 1. Slowly increase speed to medium- high (Speed 8). Blend, using the Flex Edge tamper to push down ingredients, until mixture is puréed for about 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt.
Serve immediately, or store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a sharper, bolder taste, add 1 to 3 raw garlic cloves to the grill pan with the tomatoes and then purée the garlic with the other ingredients.
