Salssssa

I took the remainder of the veggies from Apples Annies...



grilled the heck out of them...

took the grilled veggies and put them all in the food processor...

et voila....



Homemade Salsa

3 tomatoes
1 large onion
4 bell peppers
3 green or red chiles
3 jalapenos
15-20 cloves of garlic (to taste)
1 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)

Grill all of the above, peel off the blackened skins, pull the peppers and tomatoes into largish pieces (after grilling the veggies are so soft you don't even really need a knife, just a nearby garbage can to catch all the skins and seeds). Scrape the seeds out of the peppers, and squeeze the extra seeds and liquid out of the tomatoes. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their papers, put all of the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic into a food processor and pulse until you reach your desired consistency. Add salt, pulse in, and add more salt and garlic if desired.

I saved one of the grilled red chile peppers, peeled off the skin, and then sliced it into thin strips. I combined those strips with freshly grated cheddar cheese to make some awesome quesadillas for dinner--topped with some delicious garlicky salsa of course.
