Some added tips.

This makes on average a little over a pound of salsa. No more than 2.

When picking your veggies and peppers make sure they have tight skin. An old, wrinkled, or damaged pepper will be hard to peel.

You can remove or add peppers to you spice level.

Use wet paper towel to help remove pepper skin that is stuck to your fingers.

I use vine tomatoes. Or Roma.

Most of the time it's "al tanteo" so follow your instincts when it comes to adding or removing something. You end up with more salsa though.

Steps

30 mins

1

Rinse off the veggies and peppers.
2

Roast veggies and peppers on a comal/griddle (medium flame) untill the skin is ready to peel off and the meat of the tomatoes change color. The juice will spil. It's ok. Make sure you turn them over so as much of the skin is roasted. Especially the peppers.
3

Meanwhile peel garlic cloves and toss in your blender.
4

Add the red and green tomatoes to the garlic once they're done. Blend. Add salt to taste.
5

Take peppers off griddle as soon as they are done and place on a plate or bowl to cool.
6

Remove the skin off the peppers. And the stems if they still have them. You can use your bare fingers or gloves if you like. Your fingers might get....burned with spicy. Lol depends on the pepper.
7

Now add them to blender. Blend. And you're done. I like to save jars from things like pasta sauce. Store in glass container.

Hi, My name is Nancy and I'm very interested in learning the ways of the kitchen. I'm a newbee to the kitchen and a stay at home mom. I hang out with twin girls and quick, easy, tastey food is what I'm into! I’m back! It’s been a few years now. All of the above still applies but I’ve got some things I’d love to share.
