- I am a big believer in cast iron, so if you have a large cast iron skillet, get it out, and place the poblano peppers, garlic, tomato, and serrano chile peppers into it.
- If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you could lightly oil these items and place them on a baking sheet under a broiler and begin roasting them.
- You want everything blackened for the most part.
- So put your skillet over medium high heat.
- The serrano peppers will roast first, then the garlic, tomato, and then the poblano peppers.
- Once all sides of the vegetables are roasted, simply remove them from the skillet as they get blackened.
- Once the peppers have charred, remove them from the skillet and place them in a paper bag, or Ziplock bag.
- This will allow them to steam a bit so you can easily remove the outer skin.
- It is important that you do this.
- So after about ten minutes of being in the bag, remove the peppers, and carefully remove the skin.
- Take your thumb near the stem of the poblano and push in, pushing back the stem and exposing the seeds.
- Remove all of the seeds and discard the stem.
- Do this for all of the poblano peppers.
- Next, remove the skins of the garlic cloves.
- Once all of the vegetables have roasted and prepped, add them to the bowl of your blender.
- Add in the dark chocolate.
- Put the cover on the blender and give it a quick pulse.
- Next add in the water and salt.
- Cover and pulse about 8-10 times, or until you reach your desired salsa desired consistency.
- Place in a jar, seal, and store in the refrigerator to chill.
- When you are ready to serve this, remove it from the refrigerator and serve however you like.
- It can pretty much go with anything, but is really great with chicken, chips, or eggs.
- I gave a jar to one of my neighbors and he said he loved it.
- I loved it.
- My wife loved it.
- It must be good.
- Let me know what you think.
- Enjoy!
