Yield: about 3 ½ cups (enough to top four fish filets and be a meal-starter)
3 large ripe tomatoes
½ red onion, cut along the equator
1 lime, juiced
½ cup cilantro (¾-inch-thick bunch)
Optional: 1 jalapeno
Salt to taste
Preheat grill. Cut each tomato in half along the equator and gently squeeze to remove seeds. Slice onion into rings. Submerge cilantro in water, swish around, and remove (always assume that cilantro is sandy and always remove cilantro from water.
Don’t pour into a colander because sand will stay with the cilantro), allow cilantro to drain. Add tomato halves and sliced red onions (and jalapeno, if desired) to grill and char.
Transfer to food processor and puree with cilantro and lime juice; add salt to taste.
