ROASTED PEPPER AND BASIL SALSA



ROASTED PEPPER AND BASIL SALSA image

Yield 1 Cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 red peppers (I used large peppers--got more than 1 cup.)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 basil leaves, torn (I used large leaves.)
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsps olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Grill, peel and seed the peppers. (I didn't peel. I seeded first.) Cut into a fine dice. (I didn't do it too fine.) Combine with rest of ingredients, cover and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to marry. Serve at room temp. Great wih grilled fish. NB: Can be made 1 day in advance, but shoutld be brought back to room temp before serving. Also, if preparing in advance, omit basil, without basil, which should not be added until two hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful peppers. The riper the peppers, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
  • Roast the peppers before using them. Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smokiness.
  • Use a variety of peppers. For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of peppers, such as bell peppers, jalapeños, and serranos.
  • Don't overcook the peppers. Overcooked peppers will lose their flavor and become mushy.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor.
  • Taste the salsa as you go. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Let the salsa chill before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Roasted pepper salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from tacos to burritos to grilled chicken. It's also a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. With its smoky, sweet, and spicy flavor, roasted pepper salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or condiment, give roasted pepper salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
