FIRE-ROASTED TOMATO CHIPOTLE SALSA
This is a great all-purpose salsa. It's especially good with red meats. It's not real hot. You could make it hotter by using different peppers but I like this just the way it is.

ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FIRE ROASTED TOMATO SALSA AND POTATO CHEESE GALETTE
Steps:
- Season the beef with salt, pepper, and coriander.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a saute pan, heat some of the olive oil until smoking and sear the beef until browned all over. Transfer to oven and cook until medium rare, (120-degree internal temperature) about 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Season mixed greens with the two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Divide evenly onto 4 plates. Cut the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and place slices on top of mixed greens. Spoon half of the tomato salsa over the beef (do not cover completely) and serve remaining salsa on the side. Serve with Potato Cheese Galette.
- Over a hot grill, roast the tomatoes until blackened. Transfer to a bowl and add the chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the basil, garlic and lime juice and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and pulse until chunky. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Reserve.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the potato slices in a double layer in a medium bowl, pour the clarified butter over, and toss to coat the slices. Season lightly with salt. Arrange half the potatoes, flower fashion, in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet. Cook over medium heat until the ends begin to brown and the potatoes stick together (this will keep the cheeses from running through). Sprinkle with the cheeses and cover with the remaining potatoes, arranged the same way as the bottom layer. Set in the oven for 10 minutes, carefully flip potatoes with a wide spatula, and brown on a medium-high flame. Return to the oven for 5 minutes longer. Cut into 4 quarters and keep warm.
FIRE ROASTED TOMATO & JALAPEÑO SALSA
Steps:
- Cover broiler pan or baking sheet with foil. Place the tomatoes on it and place the pan about 4 inches from the very hot broiler. Roast until blistered and blackened on one side, about 6 minutes. With tongs, turn the tomatoes and roast the other side. Remove and cool tomatoes. Heat an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet. Lay the jalapeño and garlic on it. Roast, turning occasionally with tongs, until the chile is blistered with some black spots, and garlic skins also are partially blackened. Remove and cool. Peel the skins off the garlic and remove the stem from the chile and roughly chop it into a few pieces. In a food processor place the cut up chile, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and process to a coarse paste. Remove the skins from the tomatoes. Add tomatoes and any juice that may have collected during roasting to the food processor. Pulse a few times to create a coarse-textured puree. Transfer to a bowl. Place the chopped onion in a strainer and thoroughly rinse under running water. Shake off excess water and stir the onion into the salsa, along with the chopped cilantro. Add lime juice and additional salt to taste. You will probably need to thin the salsa with water to make it spoonable, usually about 1/4 cup. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. It is best when served within 3 or 4 hours.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure your salsa is packed with flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have a low water content.
- Roast the tomatoes before blending them. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
- Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give your salsa a bright, vibrant flavor. Some good choices include cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't over-blend the salsa. You want the salsa to have some texture, so don't blend it until it is completely smooth. A few chunks of tomatoes and onions are okay.
- Chill the salsa before serving. This will help the flavors meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Fire-roasted tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its smoky, caramelized flavor, fire-roasted tomato salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
