In the Kitchen – Roasted tomato and chipotle salsa roja

This is a personal favorite of mine.

It’s great with some fresh tortilla chips or as a condiment on pretty much any dish that beckons heat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 14oz can of fire roasted tomatoes (absolutely nothing wrong with using canned tomatoes), but feel free to roast your own tomatoes over an open flame and then dice ‘em.
  • 1-3 chipotles in adobo, just depends on how much heat you want , I used 3
  • half of a white onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 cup of white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper

Method:

Mix all the ingredients in a sauce pan, bring to a boil and let it simmer and reduce for about 30-45 minutes. Blend it up and enjoy.

You can see I store mine in a squeeze bottle for easier application.
