I made a smoked habanero salsa that I saw on a hunting show the other day. It was amazing and would be a great treat in the winter to crack open the jar and have that smokey flavor all ready to go. I'll give the recipe a shot.
6 Roma tomatoes
1 Red onion
1 Garlic (still wrapped)
1 Habanero
1 Lime
1 Lemon
Cilantro
Salt
On a hot, dry, iron place the whole tomatoes, red onion (cut into fourths), Garlic (in fourths but still in the paper), and the habenaro. Let sit on medium heat. You are basically charring everything on a few sides. Once everything is hot and charred, dump all your veggies into a metal strainer and put it into the smoker at around 250 degrees for about an hour. Once everything is smoked, bring inside and dump it into a blender (remove the paper from the garlic first!). Add your cilantro and squeeze a whole lime and whole lemon, then salt to taste. Blend and you're done.
If you're interested in seeing the video, it's from Eduardo Garcia on Season 2, Episode 13 of Meat Eater (Steven Rinella) on Netflix. Best salsa I've ever made by a long shot. Even my wife liked it.
