Pappasito’s Salsa
Description
This salsa begins with browning coarsely chopped poblano and jalapeno peppers in a moderately hot skillet until their skins darken and blister, imparting a smoky aroma. Tomatoes are then browned similarly to add complexity. Off heat, diced white onion is stirred in warm pan juices before blending.
In a food processor, dried seasonings including celery salt, oregano, garlic salt, and black pepper are combined with fresh cilantro and sugar. The roasted vegetables and onions are added and pulsed with water as needed to reach a medium chunkiness, avoiding a smooth puree. This texture preserves bite and character.
The salsa is poured back into a hot skillet and cooked briefly while stirring, intensifying flavors and slightly thickening. Served hot, it can accompany grilled meats, tacos, or be used as a dip, providing fresh tomato brightness, smoky pepper heat, and herbal depth.
