Fire roasted and smoked garden salsa

[philpom]

Everything needed has been pouring out of the garden, this time of year we are just overrun. Time for some projects!

Ghost peppers
Jalapenos
Thai chilies
Garlic
Onions
Tomatoes
Cilantro

I used post oak chunks to build a fire in the kettle and roasted the jalapenos until they blistered, charred, and softened.

I added chunks as needed and smoked the garlic, tomatoes, onion, Thai chilies, and ghost peppers indirect for a few hours.

After everything was done I tossed it in the blender with the cilantro, lime juice, and salt for a spin. Threw it in some large chef bowls and in to the fridge overnight.

Has a subtle smoky flavor with dominate roasted jalapeno flavor. The heat is sneaky and builds as you eat it. Delish!

Tomatoes used were a variety called super sauce, very meaty. Jalapenos, Mucho Nacho, a large spicy variety we like, and the Thai chilies, birds eye.

Got 2 of these.

Nice consistency for dipping.

A true house salsa, cheers.

Thanks y'all, we already went through 2 quart of it. Next time I'll probably add 4 ghost peppers instead of 2 and 10 jalapenos plus char them up more. Since it never was simmered it lands somewhere between fresh and cooked salsa. Has the cooked vide but fresh flavors. Just wish it was packing more heat!
