Time 20m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 jalapeno peppers (2 seeded and minced, 2 whole)
6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 dried ancho chile peppers, seeded, cut into short strips and snipped into pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste
Chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro, parsley or scallions, to taste

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Roast the 2 whole jalapenos in a pie pan under the broiler, giving the peppers a quarter turn every 2 to 3 minutes, until blackened, about 6 minutes. Remove the stems and skins and discard the seeds (or keep the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot). Chop the jalapenos.
In a bowl, combine the jalapenos with the remaining ingredients. Place in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours for flavor infusion.
