ROASTED JALAPEñO-TOMATO SALSA WITH FRESH CILANTRO



Roasted Jalapeño-Tomato Salsa with Fresh Cilantro image

Provided by Rick Bayless

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Garlic     Herb     Pepper     Tomato     Roast     Fall     Jalapeño

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes (about 10 medium), preferably plum
2 to 3 fresh jalapeño chiles (1 to 1 1/2 ounces), stemmed
Half of a small white onion (2 ounces), sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed
1 generous teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the broiler. Lay the whole tomatoes and jalapeños out on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and broil for about 6 minutes, until darkly roasted - even blackened in spots - on one side (the tomato skins will split and curl in places). With a pair of tongs, flip over the tomatoes and chiles and roast the other side for another 6 minutes or so. The goal is not simply to char the tomatoes and chiles, but to cook them through while developing nice, roasty flavors. Set aside to cool.
  • 2. Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Separate the onions into rings. On a similar pan or baking sheet, combine the onion and garlic. Roast in the oven, stirring carefully every couple of minutes, until the onions are beautifully browned and wilted (even have a touch of char on some of the edges) and the garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes total. Cool to room temperature.
  • 3. For a little less rustic texture or if you're canning the salsa, pull off the peels from the cooled tomatoes and cut out the "cores" where the stems were attached, working over your baking sheet so as not to waste any juices. In a food processor, pulse the jalapeños (no need to peel or seed them) with the onion and garlic until moderately finely chopped, scraping everything down with a spatula as needed to keep it all moving around. Scoop into a big bowl. Without washing the processor, coarsely puree the tomatoes - with all that juice that has accumulated around them - and add them to the bowl. Stir in enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
  • 4. Taste and season with salt and vinegar, remembering that this condiment should be a little fiesty in its seasoning. If you're planning to use your salsa right away, simply pour it into a bowl and it's ready, or refrigerate it covered and use within 5 days.

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

1 lb tomato
½ bunch scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2 serrano chiles, with seeds, thinly sliced in rounds
½ cup white vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup olive oil
4 teaspoons ginger, freshly grated
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorn
4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots, diced
salt, to taste
6 large mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 bunches fresh cilantro, stems and leaves seperated, chopped
1 ½ jalapeñoes, chopped with seeds
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 cups chicken stock
¾ cup heavy cream, divided
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup red wine vinegar
3 cups cooked rice, for serving
fresh cilantro leaf, for garnish
scallion, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the pickled tomato salsa: Bring a medium pot of water to boil and set an ice bath nearby. Remove the cores from the tomatoes and score an "X" on the undersides. Blanch for 15 seconds in the boiling water, then immediately transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Peel the skins with a paring knife, then seed and chop the tomatoes.
  • In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with the scallions and serrano chiles.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar to a boil. Add the sugar and salt and cook until dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a separate medium saucepan over medium heat until just smoking. Add the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cayenne, cumin, turmeric, and peppercorns and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the spice mixture over the tomatoes, followed by the vinegar mixture. Stir to combine, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or several days.
  • Make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast iron pan over high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook for about 9 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip the chicken and finish cooking in the oven for 10 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Make the cilantro sauce. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and season with salt, then cook until starting to brown. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cilantro stems and leaves, reserving about ½ a bunch of leaves for later on. Add the cumin and jalapeños, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock. Increase the heat to high and cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the cream and return to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the sauce to a blender with the reserved cilantro leaves and puree. Return the sauce to the pan.
  • Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vinegar together in a small bowl. While continuing to whisk, pour 1 cup (290 G) of the sauce into the egg mixture to temper. Add the egg mixture to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Arrange the chicken over a bed of your favorite rice and spoon the cilantro sauce over. Garnish with the Pickled Tomato Salsa, scallions, and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
