Ingredients
- 2 large sweet peppers yellow
- 3 green tomatoes
- 1/4 jalapeño
- 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill pan on medium heat.
- Cut off tops of yellow peppers, quarter them, and add to the grill pan. Cook until charred and softened. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Slice tomatoes 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush one side of the tomato slices with oil and lay them on the grill pan, oiled side down. Cook for 6-8 minutes.
- Brush the tops of the tomatoes with remaining oil and flip them.

Notes
- For best results, use firm, but not hard, green tomatoes. Avoid those that are overly soft or bruised.
- If you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before blending.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
