PLAN/PURCHASE
2 lb garden fresh tomatoes
2 large poblano peppers
1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Chef's Note: This recipe calls for two large poblano chilies... that will put this in the hot category. If you want it a bit milder, use only one.
  • 4. Remove the skins on the tomatoes by placing them into boiling water for 30 seconds, and then plunging them into ice water. The skins should slide right off.
  • 5. Remove the skins from the poblanos by placing them under a broiler until the skin blackens, then place them into a paper bag until cool enough to touch. Then, peel off the skins, and use a paring knife to scrape off any stubborn bits.
  • 6. Chop the tomatoes, and seed and chop the poblano chilies.
  • 7. Add all the ingredients to a saucepan, over medium-low heat.
  • 8. Cover and lightly simmer for 15 minutes.
