White bowl of Smoked Salsa with Tortilla Chips.

Smoked Salsa

Smoked salsa takes all your favorite salsa ingredients (fresh tomatoes, jalapeños, onion and garlic) and kicks them up a notch by infusing them with smoke. Adding the subtle touch of smoke creates another level of flavor.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Roma Tomatoes, Cut In Half
  • ¼ cup Red Onion, Cut Into Wedges (Core Attached)
  • 1 Jalapeno, Cut In Half
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Peeled
  • 1 cup Cilantro, Stemmed
  • 1 Lime, Juiced
  • Salt, To Taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the smoker to 225 degrees F and add your wood of choice.
  • Please the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and garlic cloves directly on the grill grates (or a grill basket) and close the lid. Smoke for 60 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove the vegetables from the grill and let cool. Add cooled vegetables to a blender or food processor along with the lime juice, cilantro and salt. Pulse until the smoked salsa reaches your desired consistency.
  • Taste and add extra salt or lime juice, as desired.

Notes

Note 1 - If you like thick salsa, use the pulse button on the food processor until your desired thicker consistency is reached.
Note 2 - For a thinner salsa, run the food processor for about 10-15 seconds to thin out.
Note 3 - For a lighter smoke flavor, only smoke the tomatoes. You'll add the other ingredients directly to the blender instead.
Note 4 - Salsa stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator will last between 5-7 days.
