Ingredients
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 2 fresh jalapeños stem removed
- 2 serrano peppers stem removed
- ⅓ medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon chicken boullion
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your charcoal or gas grill.
- Place the veggies on the grill grates. Keep an eye on them and give them a few gentle flips after a few minutes. We're aiming for tender yet slightly crisp veggies.
- Once they've got tha amazing char on all sides, they're good to go.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the cilantro, chicken bouillon, and puree until smooth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container once it has cooled. The salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Preheat the Grill: Fire up your grill to medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot before those veggies hit the grates.
- Don't Fiddle Too Much: Let your veggies cook for a few minutes on each side. Don't be too eager to flip them—let them develop that delicious charred skin.
- Oil the Grates: Use tongs and a paper towel soaked in oil to grease the grates. This helps prevent sticking and gives your veggies those coveted grill marks.
- Place with Care: Lay and flip your veggies slowly on the grill. Some my fall between the grates!
- Off the Grill: Once your veggies are perfectly grilled, transfer them to a platter. They all may cook at different rates.
