Salsa recipe – Making smoky salsa yourself
We already said it in our Aioli recipe, the weekend was all about dips, sauces and finger foods. Because in addition to the aioli and the delicious, simple guacamole, we also prepared a spicy and smoky salsa together with our kitchen buddy Prithvi.
The special feature of this salsa recipe compared to the traditional sauces is that we roasted the ingredients in the oven at high heat and then processed them further. This way we create a very special aroma, which fits perfectly to a summer barbecue evening.

Ingredients for the Smoked Salsa Sauce

1. First peel and quarter the onion and also cut the pepperoni into smaller pieces. Place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil together with the tomatoes and garlic cloves. Then roast the vegetables in the oven at maximum temperature and top heat on the top shelf.

2. In between turn the vegetables so that they are roasted on all sides and your salsa later gets a smoky aroma. It may become a little black in some places (yes, I know. Acrylamide sends its regards). As soon as you have reached the desired degree of roasting, take the vegetables out of the oven and let them cool down a little.

The flavor of this homemade salsa sauce is something special and tastes great with nachos and also on wraps and tacos. Through the ghost chili, which we have used our salsa but has quite a kick.
