AUTHENTIC FIRE-ROASTED TEX-MEX SALSA



Authentic Fire-Roasted Tex-Mex Salsa image

It has taken me years to perfect this recipe. Los Cucos is my favorite TexMex restaurant in Houston, and I used to eat there every 2 weeks, just so I would order a pint of red salsa to go to take home with me. I was addicted to the stuff, it's the best salsa in the world. I finally mastered my own version, which tastes nearly identical to Los Cucos's red salsa.

CORN AND FIRE-ROASTED POBLANO SALAD WITH CILANTRO



Corn and Fire-Roasted Poblano Salad With Cilantro image

This side dish was a hit served with enchiladas and I bet it would be good alongside quesadillas too. Please adjust the amount of poblanos to taste. I would suggest only using fresh corn to get the best flavor from this salad. From Everyday Greens a cookbook from a vegetarian restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Categories     Corn

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 medium red onion, diced, about 1/2 cup
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ears corn, shaved, about 4 cups kernels
salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup peeled peeled seeded and diced roasted poblano chile (about 2-3 directions for roasting follow)
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Roasted Poblanos: Rub the chilies lightly with oil and place them on a stovetop grill or directly over an open flame. Grill over medium-high heat and turn, using metal tongs until the skins are evenly blistered and charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover with a plate or a lid; they'll steam as they cool. Loosen and peel the skins from the chilies. Bits of charred skin are ok. You can dip your fingers in water, but don't be tempted to dip the chilies in water or peel them under the running faucet-you'll lose their delicious flavor.
  • Salad: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and drop in the onions for 20 seconds. Drain and toss with the vinegar.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the corn, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the water, lower the heat, and cover the pan. Simmer covered, until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and toss with the chilies, onions, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Set aside to cool.
  • Just before serving, add the cilantro and season to taste with salt and cayenne.
  • Tip: To make this salad even easier, you can prepare the separate elements ahead of time and combine them at the last minute. The poblano chilies keep well for several days in the refrigerator or can be frozen and defrosted just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right poblano peppers: Look for poblano peppers that are dark green, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers is essential for bringing out their flavor. Make sure to roast them until the skin is charred and blistered.
  • Remove the charred skin from the peppers: Once the poblano peppers are roasted, allow them to cool slightly before removing the charred skin. This will help to prevent the peppers from sticking to your hands.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the salsa: A food processor or blender will help you to create a smooth and creamy salsa. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, you can use a knife to chop the ingredients.
  • Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add some chopped cilantro or lime juice for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Fire-roasted poblano salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its smoky and slightly spicy flavor, fire-roasted poblano salsa is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
