Smoked tomatillo salsa w-pics

[chisoxjim]

Im a big fan of making salsa using items I smoke first.

This batch is some hlaved tomatillos, halved tomatoes, halved jalapenos, halved onion, and a head of garlic. Drizzled with some oil, and tossed the pan on the WSM for 2 hours.

I then tossed everything in the food procesor(peeled the garlic first), and tossed in some cilantro, and the juice of one lemon. Results... smokey, garlicy, and packing a punch. Went really nice with chips and some chopped pork tacos last night.

I brought some with some chips for lunch today, I also have (2) carne asada tacos from La Pasadita Chicago(east side) as well..










thanks for looking.

thanks,

it is definitely my favorite way to do salsa for sure.

I also like smoking heads of garlic for use in other recipes.

Nice I have never thought of smoking all the ingredients for salsa....

[chisoxjim]

thanks folks,

smoking the tomatillos, etc.. just adds something, probably like fire roasting Id guess.

[Fishawn]
