This is not a super-quick recipe - this is a 'slow down and enjoy making a great, smoky salsa your family and friends will love' recipe. But the pico de gallo is very easy to make. I used a food smoker to get the smoke flavoring.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large sweet onion, diced
2 jalapeno chile peppers, diced
1 habanero chile pepper, diced
6 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
12 Roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 fresh limes, juiced, with pulp reserved
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Preheat a smoker grill for 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Add water to the bowl and wood chips to the side tray according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Place onion, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, and garlic in an aluminum roasting pan small enough to fit into your smoker. Drizzle with olive oil, stirring to completely cover.
  • Place the roasting pan into the preheated smoker. Smoke, using 1 to 2 pans of wood chips, until vegetables are tender but not dried out, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place tomatoes in a large glass bowl. Add cilantro, lime juice, lime pulp, cumin, and seasoned salt. Mix to combine, cover, and refrigerate.
  • Add smoked vegetables to the tomato mixture, stir to combine, and return to refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
