INGREDIENTS
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- jalapeños
- Garlic clove
- Dark Mexican beer
- Chopped cilantro
- Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Get the grill nice and hot. We had the grill at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the tomatoes.
Do the tomatoes need to be cored before roasting?
In this recipe, we roast the whole tomatoes to give consistency and flavor to the salsa. You can core them if you prefer, but it’s up to choice.- Add the onion and jalapeños.
- Roast all of them.
- Make sure the skins are dark and charred. Color means flavor.
How do you know when tomatoes and chiles are done roasting?
You will know they are ready when they are soft to the touch, their skin is slightly wrinkled and a little blackened. To cook them evenly, you should turn them constantly until they acquire that texture and color without being burned.- Remove from the grill and set them aside until ready to use.
- Cut off the stems and take out the seeds and veins from the jalapeños.
- Chop up the grilled chiles and onions into small pieces.
- Mince finely the garlic clove.
- Set them aside until ready to use.
- Add the tomatoes to a pot.
- Mash the tomatoes until they are smooth.
Should I remove the skin from tomatoes?
Peeling the tomatoes at this point is easy, but when you taste this salsa, you will realize that the roasted tomato skin enhances the flavor and texture. If you want a sauce with a smoother texture, you can remove the skin.- Add the finely minced garlic.
- Add the chopped jalapeños to the pot.
- Time for the onion. Diced is what I like. Add that to the pot.
- Let it cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the beer
- Let it simmer for a few minutes. Alcohol will burn out, leaving only the rich, deep flavor.
- Add the salt.
- At the very end, add the chopped cilantro.
Cilantro substitutes:
If you’re one of those people who think cilantro tastes like soap, omit it from the recipe entirely. You can also use parsley.MORE MEXICAN SALSA RECIPES:
