Baja Fresh Salsa copycat recipe and it's superb

[Guest guest]

Baja Fresh Salsa copycat

 

7 firm medium tomatoes, cold, stems removed

1 small jalapeño, stems removed

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoons salt

1 ½ cup water

juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons white onion diced

2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

 

 

Preheat bbq grill to high heat. Place 6 of the

tomatoes, stem side down, directly on the grill. Allow

the tomatoes to roast over the flame for 20 to 30

minutes. When the tomatoes are very charred and

blackened on the first side, flip them over and

continue to grill for another 20 to 30 minutes until

most of the surface of each tomato is black. When you

flip over the tomatoes, add the jalapeño pepper to the

grill. The jalapeno skin will blacken like the

tomatoes. Turn the pepper as it cooks so that the

entire surface darkens.

 

 

Take the tomatoes and pepper off the grill and put

them in a bowl to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Dump the

tomatoes and pepper and any liquid in the bowl into a

blender. Add a clove of garlic and the salt and blend

on high speed until pureed. Add water and lime juice

and blend again on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds. As

the blackened bits of tomato are chopped finer, the

sauce will darken. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Dice

the remaining tomato and add it to the salsa. Add the

onion and cilantro, then cool the miture in the

refrigerator.
