Cooked Veggie Salsa Recipes

VEGETABLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the barbecue or broiler. Halve tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants, and squashes lengthwise. Grill or broil vegetables until softened and lightly browned on both sides. Let cool.
• Chop vegetables into small pieces, then toss them together in a large bowl. Mix in onion, turmeric, cumin, canola oil, orange juice, and salt to taste. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Serve on top of sliced, toasted whole-wheat bread.

ROASTED VEGGIE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place poblano peppers, corn, onion, carrot, and garlic on the preheated grill. Roast for 2 to 3 minutes and remove garlic and onion. Continue roasting poblano pepper, corn, and carrot until you get a nice, even char, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins and seeds.
• Cut kernels off of corn cob. Dice onions, carrots, and poblanos into medium-sized pieces. Mix garlic and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl to make a paste.
• Whisk cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, and garlic paste together in a medium bowl. Mix in roasted vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes; serve chilled.

ROASTED SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a roasting pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Arrange tomatoes, cut-side down, in the roasting pan; add Anaheim chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, and poblano peppers, all skin-side up. Add onions and garlic to roasting pan. Spray the vegetable mixture with cooking spray.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tomato and chile pepper skins are blistered and charred, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 to 15 minutes, keeping skins on tomatoes and chile peppers.
• Blend tomato-chile pepper mixture, lime juice, cilantro, cider vinegar, oregano, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and celery salt in a food processor using quick pulses until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate salsa in an air-tight container.

CLASSIC ROASTED SALSA

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier, if it is browning too quickly).
• Discard garlic skins. In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Add lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.
• Transfer salsa to a bowl and stir in cilantro. Refrigerate up to 3 days, freeze up to 3 months.

EASY COOKED SALSA

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil and add the jalapenos, sweet peppers, garlic and onion.
• Sauté until everything is soft but not browned.
• Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are quite soft and starting to pack down in the pot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and cook for about 10 minutes more to give the flavours a chance to mix together and the water to boil off.
• When the salsa is as thick as you like it, add salt to taste if needed and let stand for at least one minute.
• Stir well before serving.

VEGETABLE SALSA - THE MAYO CLINIC

Steps:

• Wash vegetables and prepare as directed. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Toss gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
