Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa
Description
This salsa starts by grilling thick slices of firm ripe peaches along with peeled shallots and quartered red bell pepper, all tossed in neutral oil. Grilling develops caramelization and a smoky flavor while maintaining some firmness in the peaches. After cooling, these are chopped finely to a consistent 1/4-inch dice, creating a chunky salsa base.
Chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce are minced and combined with minced garlic, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, and honey, which balances the heat with sweetness and acidity. Salt and pepper are added to taste. For a smoother texture, half of the peaches can be pureed with lime juice and then mixed back into the chunked mixture.
This salsa offers a balance of fruit sweetness, smoky heat from chipotle, fresh herbal notes, and bright citrus, making it suitable for serving alongside grilled chicken, pork, fish, or as a flavorful dip for chips. The grilling step enhances the natural flavors and adds a slightly smoky depth distinctive to this salsa variety.
