Description
A delicious smoked tomato salsa that is perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh roma tomatoes (Sliced in half, stems removed.)
- 1/3 cup red onion (Sliced into a wedge.)
- 1 jalapeno (Sliced in half.)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (Adjust to taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
- Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno to the smoker. I also smoke the cilantro, this is optional. Smoking it will alter the texture from soft and leafy to stiff.
- Smoke the vegetables for 90 minutes to 2 hours. I smoke them for 2 hours for optimal flavor.
- Remove the vegetables from the smoker and add them to a blender (you can also use an immersion blender) or food processor along with the lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and salt. (Add the cilantro here if you didn’t smoke it).
- Blend and pulse the ingredients until combined. Taste repeatedly and adjust spice to taste.
- Serve immediately or until chilled.
Notes
- Smoked cilantro adds a unique flavor, but it’s optional.
- Adjust lime juice and spices to your preference.
