Bell Pepper Salsa Recipes

ROASTED BELL PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place bell peppers on a broiler pan, cut-side-down. Brush with canola oil.
• Broil in the preheated oven until charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 5 minutes. Peel off and discard skin and chop peppers.
• Combine chopped peppers, Roma tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, and lime juice in a blender. Puree until smooth. Refrigerate salsa at least 1 hour before serving.

THE BEST CANNING SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

BELL PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Set aside half the chopped onion and two thirds to three quarters of the chopped bell peppers.
• Put remaining onion and pepper into your blender or food processor. Add all other ingredients and blend until smooth.
• Mix your reserved onion and pepper into the puree.
• Salsa!

SNAPPER WITH BELL PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• To make the salsa, combine bell pepper, avocado, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, parsley, and 1 teaspoon oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Place snapper, skin side down, in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until skin is golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Divide salsa evenly among 4 serving plates; top with snapper, skin side down. Garnish with lime wedges.
