Directions
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Combine ½ of the olive oil, garlic, ⅓ of the fresh oregano and ⅓ of the fresh thyme in a small bowl. (If using dried herbs, add to finished salsa.) Insert wooden skewers crosswise into onion halves to hold shape. Brush oil mixture over onion and remaining vegetables. Grill or broil vegetables until tender and lightly charred on all sides, turning frequently. Cool slightly. Remove skin from chili. Cut chili and other vegetables into ¼ " pieces. Combine with remaining olive oil, fresh oregano and fresh thyme (or dried herbs) in bowl. Stir in basil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead.) Yields 3 cups. Joel Ehrlich <Joel.Ehrlich@...>
