8 ripe plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Place the chiles and pepper in an airtight container to let them steam while they cool so they're easier to peel.

ROASTED CHILE SALSA



Roasted Chile Salsa image

A blend of roasted peppers and chiles brings a smoky flavor to this classic tomato salsa. In fact, this is the only salsa I keep on hand year-round. I use it in scrambled eggs, on pizza, and, of course, chilaquiles! I know, five jalapeños sounds like a lot, but don't worry, roasting them under the broiler knocks down the heat considerably. To seed the jalapeños and ancho chiles, snip the stem end off with scissors and shake out the seeds. Oh, and I dip chips into this salsa as well. This recipe first appeared in EveryDayCook.

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large red bell peppers
1/2 cup minced fresh fennel bulb
2 tablespoons chopped brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata)
1 tablespoon olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
24 Belgian endive leaves (from about 3 large heads), ends trimmed

Steps:

  • Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop peppers.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful bell peppers. This will ensure that your salsa has the best possible taste. Look for peppers that are brightly colored and have no blemishes.
  • Roast the bell peppers before using them. This will help to deepen their flavor and make them easier to peel and chop.
  • Use a variety of peppers. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. You can use any type of bell pepper, but some good options include red, yellow, and orange peppers.
  • Add other ingredients to your salsa to taste. This could include things like onions, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapenos, or corn. Be creative and experiment until you find a combination that you love.
  • Serve your salsa fresh. Salsa is best when it is made fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but it will lose some of its flavor over time.
