Chunky, smooth, roasted, flavourful packed tomato salsa is a Godsend on any day. And on a weekday in particular, when you’re hungry but not hungry enough for a full dinner. And you’re in the mood to snack while watching Netflix. This is where this delicious chunky salsa comes into play. I make this in matters of minutes, requires minimal prep, and wash up is of a pan, mixer, chop board, knife and spoon. That’s it. The process entails roughly chopping tomatoes, onion and garlic, and chilies if you have any. Roast on very high heat in a pan – 10 minutes, then add seasonings, and roast another 10 minutes, let cool and pulse, pulse, pulse. That’s it.
