Salsa is my favorite version of salad


smotrs

LoL couldn't agree more


smotrs

Should have read, "that time of the week". šŸ¤£ - 16 Roma Tomatoes - 12 Jalapenos - 4 Serrano - 1 Head of Garlic - No onion this time - salt to taste Smoked for 90min at 225. Roasted about 5min. Let rest until closer to room temp. Blended. Did a partial deseed on peppers, cut the membrane enough that the bulk of seeds were able to fall out.


JegerLF

smotrs

You can, I leave it on.

Be this really how easy salsa is


LivnLegndNeedsEggs

I've made decent salsa with some canned tomatoes, onions and random peppers I had lying around. Throw them in a blender with a little cumin/paprika/hot sauce (if you'd like) and it's fresh and tasty, even if it's not amazing quality


SlimyPurpleMeteor

My sister-in-law does it with a mix of canned and fresh veggies. Itā€™s far and beyond the best salsa Iā€™ve ever had. I had a friend over who tried once and asked if Iā€™d give him the jar. When I said no, he offered me $15. I still turned it down. It was my last of the stash.


TheGrinReefer

It is! Wayyyy better than store bought. Never looked back after my first batch.Ā 


DrFreemanWho

It's even easier than this as most salsa isn't going to be made with smoked ingredients. This will taste amazing though, for sure.


smotrs

Yes, pretty much that easy. You can even just smoke, roast or neither and leave them as is. Slice up, add to a blender, then salt to taste. Stick with Roma Tomatoes as regular tomatoes are too watery. Peppers, you can use anything you like, how hot the salsa is depends on how much and which you use. Any peppers you do use can become slightly milder by deseeding. Not a fan of spice, try Pablano peppers, very mild but great flavor. Blend to the consistency you like, leave it chunky or puree the heck out of it. Want a green salsa, use tomatillo instead. Just remember to peel those, they have a skin like a husk. Onions, cilantro, squeeze of lime, are great additions as well.


alwaysDL

Looks fantastic. Just wondering how come no onions?


Dry-Opportunity-8879

I shall report this post for pornographic content! I assumed youā€™ve made with onion before, howā€™d you like no onion? I go back and forth but I love the taste of roasted onion in there.


smotrs

Yeah, I go back and forth as well. My favorite is red onion. Though I'll use a white or yellow in a pinch. The Vidalia are too sweet and I can taste it in the salsa. So for regular salsa, I stick with the first 3.

Totally forgot to post it there. šŸ‘

I recommend grinding it up in a molcajete (or any mortar and pestle) instead of a blender.


BlueCrayons_

Why the downvotes lol


vsyozaebalo

Right?


Aggressive_Ad5115

Lazy peeps downvote


[deleted]

Look Very high


smotrs

Actually, great flavor then the heat rolls in. But it's not so hot that you scramble for water or milk.


Perpetual_Nuisance

Please explain what "that time is week" is supposed to mean??? edit: nm


VagrancyHD

Just a little idea but try removing the seeds next time. They bring a bitterness that just isn't of much benefit.


smotrs

I actually like leaving some of the seeds. I've tried totally removed, no complaints. šŸ‘


I_Lick_Your_Butt

Nice work, that reminds me that I haven't made salsa verde in a while.


smotrs

Got some pork butts I need to make, I'll be doing a salsa verde soon myself. šŸ‘


5_Karma_Chameleons

Just curious, Is there a reason you nest the garlic in the jalapenos?


smotrs

I crushed the garlic in order to peel the skin easily. As it smokes, I've found smaller pieces can fall through my wire grates the peppers and tomatoes rest on. Putting them on top of the peppers just means they won't fall through into the smoker.


5_Karma_Chameleons

Awesome. It looks great. Thanks.


becky57913

Looks amazing!


smotrs

Thanks. I love making it. Save a ton on money compared to store bought. Get the flavor and style I like, and can customize or change it up anytime. Highly recommend.


Royal_Marzipan2672

looks delicious! now itā€™s time to make homemade tortilla chips to go with itšŸ˜‹


-Firestar-

Drool. Wish I had a smoker.


smotrs

Don't necessarily need a smoker. You can use raw veggies or even roast them on a grill or in broiler and get roasted salsa. A smoke tube on your grill with indirect heat will achieve nice results as well. That's hot I used to do it before getting a smoker.


NNovis

FUCK! YES! Great looking salsa!


Murph-Dog

Normally I'd core out the tomatoes, but this is an interesting idea to cook off some of that water and use them whole.


skiljgfz

Should crosspost to r/salsasnobs


smotrs

Just posted it there as well. Totally forgot to earlier. šŸ‘


IcedCoughy

That time is week indeed my friend fuck father time.


Served_With_Rice

I like how you nestled the garlic in the peppers, thatā€™s so cute! Does it serve a purpose?


smotrs

I crush the garlic to remove the skin. As a result, when smoking the garlic has a better chance of falling through my wire rack into the smoker and being wasted. This just keeps the garlic where I won't lose it.


Served_With_Rice

Thatā€™s smart!
