Roasted Jalapeño Salsa Recipes

ROASTED JALAPENO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 450℉ then arrange the jalapenos, onion halves and garlic on a roasting tray
• Roast the veggies for 20 - 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. The jalapenos are ready when the skind have browned and loosened.
• Remove the veggies from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before peeling the skin from the jalapenos and garlic.
• Add the jalapenos, onion, garlic, oil, cilantro, salt and lime juice to a blender and blend until smooth.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer shelf life.

ROASTED RED JALAPEñO SALSA

Steps:

• Place the peppers, tomatoes, and garlic clove on a hot griddle. Roast all for about 2-3 minutes per side (except the garlic) until they are well roasted. The garlic will take less time to roast, about 2 minutes, so remove and let the tomatoes and peppers finish roasting.
• 2.Once all of these have been roasted, wrap them in aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the remaining heat to finish cooking through the ingredients.
• Add the garlic clove, tomatoes, and peppers to your blender or food processor pitcher. Process until you have a chunky salsa (or you can make it smoother if you like). Season with salt, and let it cool for about 5 minutes before stirring in the chopped onion and cilantro.

ROASTED JALAPEñO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a dry pan to medium-hot and add the jalapeños, onion, and garlic.
• Cook until the peppers are completely blackened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• Cut the stems off of the jalapeños and place them in your blender.
• Remove the garlic cloves from their husks and add to your blender.
• Add the onion and cilantro, 1/4 cup of water, lime juice, and 1 tsp. salt.
• Blend for 30 seconds.
• Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil to medium-hot in the same pan that you roasted the jalapeños.
• Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil. This step is called "seasoning" the salsa.
• After 1 minute in the hot oil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This deepens and intensifies the flavor.
• After 15 minutes, take and adjust the salt if needed.

ROASTED JALAPEñO-TOMATO SALSA WITH FRESH CILANTRO

Steps:

• 1. Heat the broiler. Lay the whole tomatoes and jalapeños out on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and broil for about 6 minutes, until darkly roasted - even blackened in spots - on one side (the tomato skins will split and curl in places). With a pair of tongs, flip over the tomatoes and chiles and roast the other side for another 6 minutes or so. The goal is not simply to char the tomatoes and chiles, but to cook them through while developing nice, roasty flavors. Set aside to cool.
• 2. Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Separate the onions into rings. On a similar pan or baking sheet, combine the onion and garlic. Roast in the oven, stirring carefully every couple of minutes, until the onions are beautifully browned and wilted (even have a touch of char on some of the edges) and the garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Cool to room temperature.
• 3. For a little less rustic texture or if you're canning the salsa, pull off the peels from the cooled tomatoes and cut out the "cores" where the stems were attached, working over your baking sheet so as not to waste any juices. In a food processor, pulse the jalapeños (no need to peel or seed them) with the onion and garlic until moderately finely chopped, scraping everything down with a spatula as needed to keep it all moving around. Scoop into a big bowl. Without washing the processor, coarsely puree the tomatoes - with all that juice that has accumulated around them - and add them to the bowl. Stir in enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
• 4. Taste and season with salt and vinegar, remembering that this condiment should be a little fiesty in its seasoning. If you're planning to use your salsa right away, simply pour it into a bowl and it's ready, or refrigerate it covered and use within 5 days.

JALAPENO SALSA

Steps:

• Place jalapenos in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until jalapenos soften and begin to lose their shine, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the jalapenos with a slotted spoon, chop off the stem, and place them in a blender. Add the tomatoes and boil for 2 to 3 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel the skin from the tomatoes and add tomatoes to the blender.
• Place the onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in the blender with the jalapenos and tomatoes. Blend to desired consistency.
