Roasted Jalapeno Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the chips: In a large frying pan pour enough oil to fill it 1-inch deep, and heat it to 360 degrees F. When the oil begins to swirl add the tortilla wedges in batches and fry, flipping once until golden and a light tap sounds hollow, about 4 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle each batch with a pinch of salt as they are placed on the plate. Transfer evenly to serving plates or a platter.
• Meanwhile make the jalapeno salsa: On a baking sheet toss the jalapeno halves, onion, and garlic with olive oil and arrange so that garlic cloves hide under the cavities of the jalapeno halves. Season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven until the jalapenos begin to blacken and char along with the onions, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place all the ingredients, oil included, into a food processor. Add the cilantro, chicken stock, and lime juice, blend until smooth, taste and season with salt. Set aside.
• For the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan on medium heat, add the butter, oil, onion, pinch salt and couple grinds pepper. Saute until the onions are tender, then add the flour and cook until it stops foaming, but does not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Keep warm.
• To assemble the nachos, layer the chips on a platter and scatter with the shredded chicken, drizzle cheese sauce, and finish by topping with some of the jalapeno salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tomatoes, garlic, onion, jalapeno and poblano onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until charred in spots, about 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the lime zest and juice and puree until smooth, being careful not to fill the blender too full. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Goes great with chips or alongside enchiladas.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in large saucepot.
• Bring mixture to a boil.
• Reduce heat.
• Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Ladle hot salsa into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space.
• Adjust 2-piece caps.
• Process for 15 minutes in boiling-water canner.

Steps:

• Place jalapenos in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until jalapenos soften and begin to lose their shine, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the jalapenos with a slotted spoon, chop off the stem, and place them in a blender. Add the tomatoes and boil for 2 to 3 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel the skin from the tomatoes and add tomatoes to the blender.
• Place the onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in the blender with the jalapenos and tomatoes. Blend to desired consistency.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the broiler. Lay the whole tomatoes and jalapeños out on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and broil for about 6 minutes, until darkly roasted - even blackened in spots - on one side (the tomato skins will split and curl in places). With a pair of tongs, flip over the tomatoes and chiles and roast the other side for another 6 minutes or so. The goal is not simply to char the tomatoes and chiles, but to cook them through while developing nice, roasty flavors. Set aside to cool.
• 2. Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Separate the onions into rings. On a similar pan or baking sheet, combine the onion and garlic. Roast in the oven, stirring carefully every couple of minutes, until the onions are beautifully browned and wilted (even have a touch of char on some of the edges) and the garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Cool to room temperature.
• 3. For a little less rustic texture or if you're canning the salsa, pull off the peels from the cooled tomatoes and cut out the "cores" where the stems were attached, working over your baking sheet so as not to waste any juices. In a food processor, pulse the jalapeños (no need to peel or seed them) with the onion and garlic until moderately finely chopped, scraping everything down with a spatula as needed to keep it all moving around. Scoop into a big bowl. Without washing the processor, coarsely puree the tomatoes - with all that juice that has accumulated around them - and add them to the bowl. Stir in enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
• 4. Taste and season with salt and vinegar, remembering that this condiment should be a little fiesty in its seasoning. If you're planning to use your salsa right away, simply pour it into a bowl and it's ready, or refrigerate it covered and use within 5 days.

Steps:

• Place oven rack to highest position and preheat broiler.
• Put tomatoes and peppers on a baking sheet and place under broiler for about 10 minutes.
• Tomatoes and peppers should be blackened in spots.
• Turn tomatoes and peppers over and broil for about another 10 minutes.
• Tomatoes and peppers should be blackened in spots and cooked through.
• Peppers may be done before tomatoes, if so, remove them as they are done.
• Remove from oven and let cool.
• Reduce heat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut onion into 1/4 inch slices and separate into rings.
• Place onion and garlic on a baking sheet and place in oven.
• Cook for about 15 minutes or until onion is wilted and slightly charred and garlic is soft and brown.
• Stir a couple of times during cooking.
• Remove from oven and let cool.
• Remove stems from peppers and tomatoes.
• Put peppers, onion and garlic in a food processor and coarsely chop.
• Scoop into a large bowl.
• Coarsely chop tomatoes and put in bowl.
• Stir together and add salt and apple cider vinegar.
• Chop cilantro and add.
• You may want to use less cilantro.
• Adjust salt and vinegar to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Rinse poblano and jalapeno peppers.
• Roast peppers and onion on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Place peppers in a covered bowl for 5 minutes to steam and loosen skins. Scrape skins off peppers using a knife and discard. Slice peppers in half and remove seeds, if desired. Transfer to a food processor or blender.
• Add diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt to the peppers; pulse for 15 to 20 seconds until desired consistency. Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours for flavors to blend.
