Smoky 4 Pepper Salsa

We are always looking around for new sauces and things to make with chile peppers. This Smoky Four Pepper Salsa Recipe is nice for something different to use as a dip or a salsa. Cooking all the ingredients on the grill before combining them gives this salsa its smoky flavor.

The Peppers

The peppers for this salsa are Poblanos, Anaheims, Jalapeño and Serranos. We will char those on the grill along with the tomatoes, then add to the food processor along with the other ingredients.

The Ingredients

  • 8 Medium Tomatoes
  • 1 Tbls Oil
  • 4 Poblano Chiles
  • 4 Anaheim Chiles
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 4 Serranos
  • 1/4 of an Onion
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • Some Cilantro (to your taste)
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • Juice of 1 Lime

Grill the Peppers and Tomatoes

We will put the peppers and tomatoes on the grill and roast until charred. Put the poblano and anaheim chiles in a pot with a lid after they are done so they can steam. We can transfer all the other ingredients to bowls after they are done.

Peel and Seed

We will peel the tomatoes, anaheims and poblanos and then remove the seeds from the anaheims and poblanos.

Assemble The Salsa

With all of our ingredients roasted and peeled, we are ready to assemble our salsa in the bowl of a food processor. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may want to do this in 2 batches. Just try to get 1/2 of everything in each batch and then mix the batches together.

Transfer To A Bowl and Serve

You can process to your desired consistency. You can leave this a little chunky or make it smooth. We like a little chunk left in it.
