One of my fav’s! Grilled/roasted salsa

This batch had:

• 5 Roma tomatoes (cut in half the long way)

• 1 jalapeño pepper

• 2 serrano peppers

• 1 poblano pepper

• 4 dried guajillo peppers

• 1/2 white onion

• 1 bunch garlic (cut in half)

• 1 small handful cilantro

• 1 tbsp salt (or salt to taste)

• 1/2 lime squeezed

Process:

I used a cast iron pan, oiled it with olive oil. Threw the halved tomatoes on it face down. Everything else went straight on the grill. Basically just kept everything on till it had some char on it, turned it as needed. Also threw the dried guajillo's on the grill till they blackened a bit.

Take guajillo peppers and submerse in hot water to rehydrate. I like to cut the ends off so the water gets inside. Throw everything into a blender. Take about 1/2 cup of the guajillo (now flavored 😉) water and add to blender. Pulse/blend until it looks good.

The salsa has a smokey, roasted, deep flavor to it, much like you'd find at some restaurants.
