Chipotletomatosalsa Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a dry large heavy nonreactive skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then cook tomatoes, onion, and garlic, turning with tongs, until all are blackened in spots, 10 to 12 minutes. Purée in a blender with chiles and 3/4 teaspoon salt (use caution when blending hot foods). Return to skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature, then stir in cilantro.

Steps:

• Place a comal or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; do not oil. Place garlic, onion, and tomato (all with their skins) in pan and roast, turning, as needed, with tongs, until blistered and charred all over. Let vegetables cool slightly, then peel off skins.
• In a blender, combine vegetables with chipotle chile and cilantro leaves. Whirl until coarsely pureed. (If using a mortar and pestle, finely chop cilantro leaves with cooked, peeled onion and garlic. Mash tomatoes and chipotle in mortar, then stir in chopped vegetables and cilantro). Squeeze lime juice into salsa, then stir in oil. Taste, season with salt, and serve. Can be made ahead, covered, and refrigerated up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, lemon juice, lime juice and salt.
• Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature to blend flavors. Stir in cilantro. Taste salsa and adjust amount of jalapeno pepper and salt as desired.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes, remove the skin, and then chop. Measure 8 cups.
• Mix all ingredients except the cilantro in a large pot and simmer until desired thickness is reached, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Ad the cilantro just before you are ready to pour into jars.
• Fill into hot, sterilized pint jars and top with hot, sterilized canning lids. I do not process in a canner and have never had a problem, but you may process in a hot-water-bath canner at this point for 20 minutes if you are concerned about food safety.
• If you buy a half-bushel of tomatoes and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly you get about 6 batches and 36 pints.

Steps:

• Place all in a large pot bringing to a boil then reduce and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Fill into hot sterile jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace removing any air bubbles.
• Being careful not to leave any salsa on the rims.
• Wipe jar rims with a clean, damp paper towel. Put on lids and screw on metal bands.
• Process for 10 minutes in a hot water bath.
• Label and store in a dark place. Use with 1 year.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. On a broiler-proof sheet pan, toss tomatoes with onion, oil, salt, and pepper. Broil until charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes; cool.
• Transfer contents of sheet pan to a food processor; add chipotles, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse until combined but still chunky.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in 5-quart pot over medium heat; add sliced onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add all remaining ingredients except salt and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Turn off heat and use an immersion or regular blender to puree salsa.
• Taste; add salt to your liking.
• Serve warm or cold with beef empanadas, pork dishes, soups, stuffed sweet plantains, tortilla chips or plantain chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the tomatoes, onion and garlic close together on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and all the vegetables are softened and charred, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Peel the garlic, then transfer to a blender along with the remaining broiled vegetables. Add 1/2 chipotle chile, the vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 cup water; puree until smooth. For more heat, add the remaining 1/2 chipotle and puree. If the salsa is too thick, add a splash of water. Let sit 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Char the tomatoes on a grill, under a broiler, or in a cast iron pan. Put them in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix together. Season with salt and pepper.;

Steps:

• Add the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, black pepper, chipotle peppers, cilantro and onions to a food processor and blend until totally combined. Give it a taste to check for seasoning.
• Make the salsa several hours before serving, as it will give the flavors a chance to dance! Keeps in the fridge, covered, for about a week.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Gently toss the peaches and tomatoes with the oil until coated.
• Place on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until fruit is juicy and has charred grill lines running across, about 6 minutes total. (Depending on the size of your grill, you may need to do this in batches.) Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, 20 minutes.
• Cut the peaches and tomatoes into 1/2-inch dice, then combine with the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
• Let stand for 15 minutes, then stir in the cilantro. Taste, season with additional salt and pepper if needed and serve.
