If such things as Cascabel Crusted Crabcakes or the recipe below are
interesting check it out. Doug this site definitely for YOU! As well as
Risa and a few other serious cooks on list. You can easily adjust the heat
as his dishes are balanced for regular folks. Just remember to maintain the
balance when you add heat you need to up the spices, etc.
Mary-Anne
Charred Tomato Chipotle Salsa
Yields 1 Quart
12 Roma tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
6 garlic cloves
1/2 cup Chipotle purée
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a cast iron skillet until very hot. Add the whole Roma tomatoes, turning
occasionally until they begin to blacken on all sides. When they are roasted,
remove the tomatoes from the pan and slice the stem ends off. Heat the olive
oil in a medium pan until lightly smoking. Sauté the onion and garlic for 5
minutes or until lightly brown. Put the tomatoes and the onion-garlic mixture
through a meat grinder. (You can use a food processor, but the salsa will not
be as vibrant red. The processor whips air into the salsa, thereby lightening
the color.) Stir in the Chipotle purée, brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice and
basil. Stir in the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately
or store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to use.
