Salsa Roja Asada W30 Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA (SALSA ASADA)

Steps:

• Preheat a medium heavy griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the whole tomatoes, serrano chile and shallot and roast on the dry skillet, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables and chile to a food processor and add the chicken broth and cilantro. Pulse until smooth but with some small pieces remaining, or to the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve immediately or cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

EASY SALSA ROJA

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend well so onions are cut up finely and all ingredients are mixed together well.
• I have found to determine if the salsa is "perfect", it is better to taste it with a tortilla chip rather than with the sauce alone. Sometimes it is perfect the way the recipe is, other times I'll add more of the jalapenos, cilantro, vinegar, lime or salt depending on taste.
• Let the salsa the set over night for best flavor. You can eat it after about an hour in the fridge, but over night is best.
• This is one of those recipes you'll make a few times and modify to make your own perfect blend of salsa.

SALSA ROJA ASADA - W30

Steps:

• Place the halved tomatoes on a baking tray very close to the broiler element in your oven. Broil on high for 5 minutes.
• Remove the skins, flip the toms and broil on the other side for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, back at the ranch, cook the chiles and garlic in a nonstick pan - don't use any oil or any anything. Just let those puppies roast, turning frequently. Allow the skins to become quite black, this will give a nice roasty flavor to your salsa, and will make removing the peels much much easier.
• Place the shallot, cilantro and salt in your handy dandy thermomix or food processor. Blitz until minced fine.
• Add in the roasted and peeled chiles and garlic. Blitz again, scraping down the sides as needed. Be careful when you open up the top - those spicy ingredients might make your eyes water.
• Carefully add in your roasted tomatoes and blend until you have a nice thick puree. Add in the lime juice, mix through and you are done! This is best made a few hours ahead so that the flavors have a chance to gel.
