Preparation

  1. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron or nonstick, over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, raise the heat to high and cook until lightly charred on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn, and cook the other side very lightly, about 1 minute. If necessary, work in batches to avoid crowding the tomatoes.
  2. Combine the olive oil and vinegar in a large, shallow dish and, as the tomatoes are done, turn them in the mixture. Season, and serve as a side dish, or as a sauce for grilled or roasted fish or chicken. (The salsa can be refrigerated for up to a day or two. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
