Ingredients

  • 1 pound steak tomatoes cut into wedges with middle stem removed
  • 1/4 cup red onion cut into a wedge
  • 1 jalapeno cut in half
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Place tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and whole garlic cloves directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke for 90 minutes.
  • Add smoked tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and whole garlic to a blender jar or food processor. Add in the lime juice, cilantro, and salt and pulse until salsa reaches desired consistency.
  • Add salt to taste. Eat immediately if you like hot salsa. For cold salsa, transfer to a lidded glass jar and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving. This salsa tastes great when allowed to sit for a bit of time to allow all the flavors to combine.
