Roasted Jalapeño Salsa Recipe

Roasting and Blending

1. Heat a dry pan to medium-hot and add the jalapeños, onion, and garlic.
2. Cook until the peppers are completely blackened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan.
3. Cut the stems off of the jalapeños and place them in your blender.
4. Remove the garlic cloves from their husks and add to your blender.
5. Add the onion and cilantro, ¼ cup of water, lime juice, and 1 tsp. salt.
6. Blend for 30 seconds. 

"Seasoning the Salsa"

1. Heat 2 tablespoon of cooking oil to medium-hot in the same pan that you roasted the jalapeños.
2. Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil. This step is called "seasoning" the salsa.

Cooking the Salsa

1. After 1 minute in the hot oil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This deepens and intensifies the flavor.
2. After 15 minutes, take and adjust the salt if needed.
