FIRE ROASTED PINEAPPLE SALSA



Yields 1 Quart



INGREDIENTS



6 each Roma Tomatoes

1 each Red Onion (skin removed slice in 1/2)

2 each Poblano Peppers

1 each Jalapeno Pepper

1 each Pineapple (rind and core removed, sliced)

2 each Limes (juiced)

2 Tbs. Honey

2 ounces Cilantro (washed and rough chopped)

2 ounces Basil (Thai if possible)

2 Tbs. Olive Oil



METHOD



Preheat Grill.



First wash all ingredients thoroughly. Then place the tomatoes, peppers, pineapple and onion in a bowl. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.



Place all of the ingredients onto the grill and allow them to char. This will give the salsa a more intense flavor with a hint of smokiness. The sugars in the pineapple will caramelize much quicker than the other ingredients, so make sure you keep an eye on it. Once you have a nice char place all of the ingredients into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. You want them to steam in there own juices.



Next you want to rough chop all of the vegetables except for the pineapple. The pineapple you want to rough dice and toss into the salsa after it has been chopped. Place all of the ingredients including the basil, cilantro, lime juice and honey into a food processor or blender and pulse until it is the consistency you desire. Place the salsa in a bowl and add your pineapple. Season with salt and pepper.



This recipe is great to use on grilled shrimp, chicken fajitas, grilled tilapia or even as a topper for salads.



Bon Appetite!!
