    Its that time of year again...

    SALSA!

    This year we're doing a fire roasted salsa rather than smoked salsa...

    I do all the veggies on the Weber in small batches...
    That way I have more control over the amount of roasting each one gets

    Started with roasting a couple of sweet peppers...Also have a head
    of garlic roasting in the foil...


    Then a couple of Anaheims and three Jalapenos...
    Obviously not going for a hot batch this time...


    The onions just get a short sear to keep some crispness to them...
    The heat just kinda brings out the sweetness a bit...


    And the limes...No vinegar in my salsa so lime juice will keep the pH down...


    This smells fantastic...


    For the tomatoes I crank up the heat with some lump and use this CI grate...
    Its important to scrape and oil the CI between each batch...
    Cut side down...


    And flipped...Leave em on just till the edges start to sizzle...
    Now the skins will slip right off...


    So all the produce is hand chopped and added to the pot...
    Also the lime juice and some salt and pepper...


    Ended up with nine pints of salsa from nine pounds of tomatoes


    Also had a bowl of extra salsa so we made some baked nachos to try it out on...No pics

    Well that's our first batch for this summer...
    Thanks for looking...

      Thanks Phil. Been canning fire roasted tomatoes for years...Even did a batch of FR juice last year...Break out the vodka! Also made a very hot sauce from FR habs before...

      This was the first attempt at a mild salsa gig...The fire roasting just totally changes the flavors of all the veggies...

            You will need to sweet talk Lena to get yer hands on her salsa

            As for the Vortex it just gives me a concentrated heat even in the inverted position...Keeps me from over cooking the stuff while still getting super heat and at times...flames Turns a big grill into a small one with much better heat control than with the smoky joe...
