Yield:

3 cups

Ingredients

8 ripe plum tomatoes

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4 poblano peppers

4 Anaheim chile peppers

1 jalapeno chile pepper, or more to taste

1 large green bell pepper

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

2 tablespoons white vinegar

¼ onion

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons salt

¼ teaspoon mesquite flavored liquid smoke concentrate (Optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.

Step 2

Rub tomatoes with oil and grill for 10 minutes, turn. Place poblano, Anaheim, jalapeno chiles, and the green pepper on the grill. Grill 5 to 7 minutes per side, being careful not to let them burn. The skins should blister and brown. Remove tomatoes to a separate bowl. Place the chiles and pepper in an airtight container to let them steam while they cool so they're easier to peel.

Step 3

Peel tomatoes and drain excess liquid. Peel and seed peppers.

Step 4

Place the tomatoes, chiles, green pepper, cilantro, vinegar, onion, garlic, and salt in the container of a food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times. Add liquid smoke and more jalapenos if desired. Pulse until salsa is as chunky or smooth as you like.
