Equipment

  • Smoker Grill
  • Wood Chips
  • Aluminum Grill Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large roma tomatoes
  • ½ bulb onion
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 2 jalapeño peppers
  • 1 portion lime juice
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start up the smoker grill. Heat up the smoker till it reaches a temperature of 225℉. Heat up the smoker till it reaches a temperature of 225℉ — there are smokers, such as the WOODWIND WiFi 36, with in-built temperature gauges; they make temperature regulation very easy. Wet the wood chips you’ve collected and spread them evenly in the smoker. The wet wood chips will create the smoke that gives your smoked pepper salsa a unique flavor.  
  • Next, smoke the ingredients. Open the smoker to expose its grates. Slice up the tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and Jalapeño peppers. Spread them out on the smoker grill’s grates. Cover the lid and allow the ingredients to smoke for one and a half hours. To avoid messing up the ingredients, make sure that you’re constantly monitoring the grill’s temperature. You may use a smoker like the Dyna Glo Smoker that can be easily controlled. 
  • Blend the smoked ingredients to the preferred consistency. Take the smoked ingredients out of the smoker grill and put them through a food processor — don’t forget to add your salt, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Once the blended mix has reached your preferred thickness, turn off the processor. 
  • Serve the portion you wish to eat or preserve it till later. If you can’t finish all the smoked salsa in one sitting, preserve the leftovers in a refrigerator. First, transfer the leftover salsa into a lidded glass jar and place it in the fridge — smoked salsa can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Your smoked salsa can be eaten hot or left to cool before consumption. If left to cool, the sweet flavors contributed by each ingredient will be more profound. Remember to always go for the freshest ingredients — this will make your portions of salsa stay fresh for longer.
