Fire-Roasted Salsa

"I've never been a huge fan of store-bought salsa. I think just about everything tastes better on the grill, so i thought "why not salsa?" I tried it once, and will never go back to store-bought again."

directions

  • Cut tomatoes in half and dig out the seeds (using a spoon works well).
  • Secure the onion slice with two toothpicks pushed through the sides in toward the middle. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
  • Heat grill to high heat.
  • Place tomatoes, onion, and whole peppers on the grill, turning form time to time until tomatoes and peppers get a nice char (not burnt(!) but a bit of char).
  • Drain the excess liquid off the tomatoes.
  • Seed the peppers (but leave the charred skins -- they add a good smokey flavor).
  • Crush the garlic clove.
  • Add grilled vegetables, lime juice, crushed garlic, salt, and cilantro (to taste) to the workbowl of a food processor. Pulse until well salsa is well mixed and has the desired consistency.
  • It's good right out of the gate, but even better after the flavors marry for a few hours. Serve with chip or anything else you like salsa on!
