How To Make fire roasted salsa

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, tomatillos, red, yellow, anaheim and jalapeño peppers, red onions and garlic cloves. Pour in canola oil and toss to coat. Add more if needed.
  • Step 2
    Place ingredients in a grilling basket and roast on the barbecue between 350 to 400ºF, making sure the tomato/tomatillo are flesh side up. Check every 15 minutes by tossing the ingredients. When some are nicely charred, transfer them to a bowl. Repeat until all the ingredients are done.
  • Step 3
    Remove paper from garlic cloves and the root end of the onion before transferring them to the bowl of a food processor along with the other charred veggies. Add sugar, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lime juice and cilantro; process until desired consistency. Taste and adjust if necessary and transfer to a bowl. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
