Fresh Roasted Jalapeno and Poblano Salsa

Fresh Salsa- 6 roasted peppers, I used a combo of poblano, jalapeno and chili peppers, roasted in oven till skin turns black, cover pan with another pan for 20 min. Peel and discard skins and seeds.

COmbine in food processor-
peppers, 3 cloves garlic, large bunch cilantro, juice of 2 limes, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cracked pepper, 1/2 onion, diced. 3 cups fresh or canned tomatoes. I oven roasted 6 garden tomatoes and added 1 large can of jersey tomatoes. I put mine in Ball freezer containers. If you are freezing, add to almost the very top to prevent freezer burn.

Bruschetta Dip

I love my fresh garden ingredients. Just made this for dinner, originally I was going to spread over Italian bread and grill. But my daughter and I liked it as is so much we decided to grill the bread with a little olive oil and then dip it. It was so good we could have eaten it as a cold soup.

Pulse in mini chopper, food processor-

3 ripe tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
handful fresh parsley
handful fresh basil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper, I use McCormicks pepper grinders with garlic
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp oregano (I used dried)

We may even spread some over our grilled chicken tonight.
