roasted salsa



i am always on the hunt for a good salsa...it is something that is just part of being a texan...we love salsa, guacamole, and queso.  this salsa is fresh and easy and good served warm, fresh from the blender or cold the nest day...

ingredients/supplies:

-5 organic tomatoes
-3 jalapeno peppers
-2 serrano peppers
-2 onions
-1 bunch of organic cilantro
-1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar
-kosher salt to taste
-1 roasting pan, an oven, a knife, a cutting board, and a blender

prepping/chopping/roasting/blending/mixing:

prep:
-preheat the oven to the highest temperature (500 degrees)
-wash and dry tomatoes and peppers

chop:
-peel and slice the onions to even rounds
-chop cilantro and set aside (some people care for lots and some less so use as much as you like)



roast:
-place tomatoes, onions, and peppers on the roasting tray in a single layer and place in oven
-after about 15-20 minutes, check on them and if they are nice and roasted, flip them to roast both sides evenly



blend:
-place the roasted veggies in a blender with a few pinches of salt and blend until you reach your desired texture

mix:
-place blended veggies in a bowl and add a dash of white vinegar and salt to taste
-add in the chopped cilantro



enjoy!

texas is home


my mom came to visit from texas this weekend and brought us this napkin that i thought was fabulous.  being from texas never leaves your soul...no matter where you move...my mom likes to reinforce that from time to time with little gifts from home.  i love that this napkin is wrinkled from it's journey from the lone star state....
