Steps:
- Clean veggies and remove stems. Slice onion in half. Keep skin on garlic. Heat broiler on high, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, jalapenos, onion and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet that is covered with foil.
- Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier, if it is browning too quickly).
- Discard garlic skins and add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 3-4 times and until all ingredients are combined and chopped. Roasted salsa is more liquidy than regular salsa.
- Taste the salsa and add more cumin and/or salt as desired.
- Transfer to a bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips! Also, great served over eggs, tacos and more.
- I prefer to refrigerate salsa for 1 day prior to serving to allow the flavors to marry and meld. Salsa will keep for about 1 week in an airtight container or jar in the fridge.

BEST DAMN SALSA EVER!
Steps:
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. I like to add in the jalapeños, onion and garlic first and then the cilantro and tomatoes, so the tomatoes do not get too liquid-y. Pulse about 10 or so times and until all ingredients are combined and diced, but be sure to stop before the salsa becomes too watery. However, you can pulse longer if you do like your salsa with more liquid.
- Taste the salsa and add more ingredients as desired. I would advise stirring in the extra ingredients, not pulsing in the food processor. The salsa will become too watery, quickly.
- Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
- I prefer to refrigerate salsa for 1 day prior to serving to allow the flavors to intensify. Salsa will keep for about 1 week in an airtight container or jar in the fridge; however, it's never lasted that long in this household.

JAMES KIM'S SALSA
This is a fresh, authentic salsa. When my friend Carol brought me a container of this salsa, I promptly threw away every other salsa recipe I had. Everytime I bring it somewhere it disappears completely. Make it the night before and it keeps for weeks in the frig. The heat is present, but not overwhelming and fades quickly.

Steps:
- 1. Bring 2C water to boil in microwave. Place serrano peppers in hot water for 30 seconds. Discard water. Cut away the stems of the peppers and discard.
- 2. Drain whole peeled tomatoes. Pull Cilantro leaves off their stems and use only the leaves.
- 3. Place all ingredients in the food processor. Mix together until liquified.
- 4. Transfer to storage container and refrigerate overnight. The next day it's ready to eat.
- 5. Heat can be controlled by removing seeds and membranes from peppers. Serranos can vary in heat, so I sometimes add 1 jalepeno pepper for good measure.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are free of blemishes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making your salsa will intensify their flavor and give your salsa a smoky, roasted flavor.
- Use a variety of peppers: The type of peppers you use will determine the spiciness of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use mild peppers like bell peppers. For a spicier salsa, use hotter peppers like jalapeños or habaneros.
- Add some acidity: Acidity helps to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes and peppers. You can add acidity to your salsa with lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar.
- Season to taste: Once you've combined all of your ingredients, taste your salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or acid until you reach the desired flavor.
Conclusion:
With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a salsa that you love. Whether you like your salsa mild, medium, or hot, there's a recipe out there for you. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients until you find the perfect salsa for your taste.
