Best Smooth And Spicy Poblano Salsa Recipes

FIRE-ROASTED POBLANO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Rinse poblano and jalapeno peppers.
• Roast peppers and onion on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Place peppers in a covered bowl for 5 minutes to steam and loosen skins. Scrape skins off peppers using a knife and discard. Slice peppers in half and remove seeds, if desired. Transfer to a food processor or blender.
• Add diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt to the peppers; pulse for 15 to 20 seconds until desired consistency. Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours for flavors to blend.

SMOOTH AND SPICY TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Combine garlic, onion and jalapeno in a blender or food processor and process until finely chopped. Add tomatoes and blend. Add cilantro, lime juice and oil and continue blending. Transfer salsa to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Roasted salsa variation: Place the garlic, onion, jalapeno and tomatoes on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes at 400 degrees, then proceed as directed.

SMOOTH POBLANO SALSA

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add additional water if needed for smoothness. This salsa is a delicate green and smooth, but it is not tame! Adjust types and amounts of hot peppers, to taste.

PINEAPPLE AND ROASTED POBLANO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• On large rimmed baking sheet, broil peppers 2 inches from heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until blistered and blackened on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, char by holding with tongs over gas flame, turning until blistered on all sides.) Transfer to medium bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam 10 minutes.
• Peel, core, and seed peppers, then cut into 1/4-inch dice. In large bowl, combine peppers and remaining ingredients and toss well. (Salsa can be made up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.)
