Ingredients
- 5 Tomatoes
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Teaspoon fresh chopped Basil leaves
- 2 Teaspoon fresh chopped Parsley
- 2 Tablespoon fresh chopped Coriander
- 2 Teaspoon Mixed dried herbs or Italian Seasoning
- 1 - 1 ½ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Roast the tomatoes and capsicums over a low flame for about 25-30 minutes, until the skin is charred and the vegetables are soft. Use tongs or skewers to turn them.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables into a bowl of ice with a bit of water and allow it to sit for a few seconds.
- Once cool, peel the skin off the tomatoes and capsicums.
- Chop the roasted vegetables into very fine pieces.
- In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, fresh chopped basil, parsley, coriander, and mixed dried herbs to the heated oil. Stir well and cover the saucepan with a lid.
- Let the herbs and garlic infuse into the oil for about 10-15 minutes.
- Combine the herb oil with the chopped vegetables in a mixing bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld together. Serve with tortilla chips, nacho chips, or over French bread pieces as bruschetta.

Notes
- Use tongs or skewers when roasting the veggies on the open flame to turn them as they begin to char. You can alternatively roast them in an airfryer for a few minutes on high heat.
- Upon roasting, transfer the roasted veggies into a bowl of ice and allow it to sit for a few seconds. This will cool them quicker and also retain the bright color of the veggies.
- Make sure to peel the skin of the vegetables after roasting so that you remove any bitterness from the char – the result is a salsa that’s soft and juicy which is exactly what we want.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes – this will allow all the flavors to meld together.
