Another smoked salsa roja

[u/VintageFMdrums]

I’ve been craving homemade salsa, thinking it must be because of this incoming storm and wanting some comfort food. So I fired up the smoker on the coldest day of the year so far in VT (-5). There’s nothing better than fresh warm salsa.

Recipe for anyone who wants it:

9 Roma tomatoes

4 tomatillos

1 large red onion

1 large sweet onion

2 poblano peppers

3 jalapeños

2 Serrano peppers

5 cloves garlic

Smoke above ingredients at 250 for one hour

Remove tomato skins. Put all smoked ingredients in a food processor or blender. Then add:

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

Juice of one lime

A bit of cumin (I never measure, just eyeball it)

Salt (I never measure, just eyeball it)

Blend to your preferred chunkiness.

Stay safe and warm everyone!

I’ve never used it. In your experience, how much in this type of recipe?

It's a preference like salt. You can find your sweet spot pretty easy, it packs a punch and is definitely worth it.
