Warm Salami And Red Pepper Salsa Recipes

GRILLED HOT AND SWEET SAUSAGE TACOS WITH APRICOT-JALAPENO GLAZE, GRILLED PEPPER AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• Salsa: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Sausage tacos: Combine the preserves, jalapeno and lime juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a grill to high. Brush the links with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until lightly golden brown. Cut the sausage in half lengthwise and brush the apricot glaze mixture on both sides. Grill until dark golden brown, then remove to a cutting board and slice.
• Grill the tortillas quickly on each side just to heat through, about 5 seconds per side. Fill with some of the hot and sweet sausage and top with some of the cheese and some of the salsa.

RED PEPPER & TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes, garlic and chilli into a food processor with the peppers, bread, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pulse to make a rough purée. Turn into a small bowl, cover with cling film and chill until ready to serve.

SWEET CHILI AND PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Grill the peppers whole, turning at intervals, until the skin is blackened. Place in a bowl while still hot and cover with plastic wrap. Leave them to steam (this makes it easier to remove the skin from the peppers). Skin, remove seeds and finely chop the peppers. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste for seasoning. Leave for 1 hour to let the flavors develop. Check for seasoning before serving.;

SALAMI, MOZZARELLA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SANDWICH

Steps:

• Use a serrated knife to cut the Italian sub roll in half. Place sub roll on butcher or wax paper and drizzle both sides with a really nice olive oil.
• Add mozzarella to one-half and sprinkle with salt. Next, add roasted red peppers, genoa salami, and a handful of fresh washed basil.
• Close the sandwich and tightly wrap the butcher or wax paper around it. Roll and cut down the middle. Serve immediately or wrap it up for later. ​The sandwich is good for 24 hours if refrigerated properly.

CAUTION: EXTREMELY HOT! SALSA

Steps:

• Put peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin in a food processor, and process until finely minced, but not a paste.
• Or, if you're mincing the peppers by hand-be SURE to wear rubber gloves, as the oil from the peppers is very irritating to skin and eyes.
• Add seasonings, vinegar, olive oil and water and mix well.
• Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid (I use the larger size of baby food jars).
• Stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
• Serve on chips, eggs, grilled chicken, in burritos, on tacos, mixed into rice or beans, anything you can think of!

ITALIAN SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet, and slice.
• Melt butter in the same skillet. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in bell peppers, season with basil and oregano, and stir in 1/4 cup wine. Continue to cook and stir until peppers and onions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Return sausage slices to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until sausage is heated through, adding more wine if needed.

SWEET PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Heat four tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute until transluscent. Stir in the garlic, red pepper, yellow pepper and chili pepper and saute until the peppers are tender.
• Stir in the tomato and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the vinegar, scallions, coriander and remaining tablespoon of the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

RED-RIBBON ROASTED SALSA

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with water, stir in dried chipotle peppers, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until peppers are soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool. When peppers are cool, remove stems, cut open peppers, and remove seeds. Set peppers aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill tomatoes on hot grate until skin blackens and begins to peel, turning tomatoes often to blacken all sides, about 10 minutes. Set grilled tomatoes aside to cool.
• Place grilled tomatoes, chipotle peppers, yellow onion, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and lime juice into a food processor; pulse a few times, then process until almost pureed.
• Refrigerate until flavors have blended, at least 2 hours to overnight.
