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.
