Smoked Tomato Salsa
I used this in a halibut recipe here. You can use it on any fish or wild game dish. If you are unfamiliar with smokers, Sporting Friend Tiffany Haugen shares this video of her Camp Chef Pellet Grill & Smoker assembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz6CY4SGGRc
Smoked Tomato Salsa
Ingredients
- 6 roma tomatoes seeded and halved
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and halved
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup black olives pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lime juice only
- 2 tablespoons almonds chopped
- dash or more Tabasco
Instructions
- To make salsa, lightly coat tomato halves and pepper with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Tomatoes can be smoked in a smoker or over indirect heat in a charcoal or wood-fired barbecue. Place tomatoes away from heat source and smoke for 15 – 20 minutes. Place pepper halves directly over heat to char peppers. When peppers are charred, allow to cool and scrape charred skin off peppers. Dice cooled peppers and tomatoes and add to a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss gently. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
