Fire Roasted Hot Salsa
- 6 medium tomatoes
- 10 jalapeno peppers (red is best)
- 1/4 medium Spanish onion
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. mesquite-flavored liquid smoke
- Preheat your barbecue grill to a high temperature.
- Remove any stems from the tomatoes and rub olive oil over each tomato. Rub olive oil over the jalapenos.
- Place the tomatoes and jalapenos on the hot grill.
- Turn tomatoes and jalapenos after 10 minutes.
- When the pepper skins have turned mostly black, they can be removed from the grill.
- The tomatoes can be removed when their skins are partially black and begin to come off.
- Put tomatoes and peppers on a plate to cool.
- When cool, remove most of the skin from the tomatoes and place them into a food processor or blender. Pinch the stem end from each of the peppers and place them into the food processor or blender as well.
- Add the remaining ingredients and puree on high speed until the mixture has a smooth consistency.
- Place salsa into a covered container and chill for several hours or overnight while the flavors develop.
- Enjoy!
