Rich Roasted Tomato Chimichurri
Ingredients:
- 4 medium tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds), quartered
- 12 or so sweet cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 a small onion sliced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 cup lightly packed cilantro or parsley
- 4 sprigs oregano leaves, stems removed, or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- chili flakes as desired
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°. I roasted mine on a baking sheet in our gas grill over medium low (about 400 degrees).
On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the tomatoes and onion with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and Sprinkle with salt.
Roast for 10 minutes then turn tomatoes to cook evenly, roast for another 10 minutes, until softened and browned in spots; let cool slightly.
Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor. Add the cilantro, oregano, vinegar, chili flakes and the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Pulse until almost smooth. Season with salt and transfer to a bowl.
