Instructions
Preheat broiler to high; set a rack 4 inches from heat source. Arrange tomato halves cut side down on a broiling pan. Broil, watching carefully and turning pan as needed, until tomatoes are blackened and charred, about 10minutes.
Transfer to a plate and let cool.
Place bell pepper and jalapeos on broiling pan; broil until blackened and charred, 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes. Peel pepper and jalapeos, but leave blackened skins on tomatoes. Coarsely chop tomatoes, pepper and jalapeos.
Working in batches if necessary, combine cooked tomatoes, bell pepper and jalapeos with onion, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a food processor. Pulse briefly until coarsely chopped. (Do not overprocess. The salsa should be chunky.) Pulse in cumin and cilantro. Season with additional salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too.
Bright aromatic florals, cassis and red fruits complementing spice and savoury notes. The palate is supple and harmonious, with interesting layers and umami elements, fine texture and a lovely balanced finish.
