Grandma imelda's salsa
Salsa
After a recent visit to Portland, I got hooked on our tour guide's YouTube show, Grandma's Cookin'. In the show, he spends time learning recipes and techniques from grandmothers around Mexico. <br /> <br />In one episode, he makes salsa for memelas with Grandma Imelda. As a former fan of raw salsa only I was fascinated by her method of grilling the tomatoes until blackened before adding them to the salsa. Although I used my indoor grill to make this, I still got a fantastic smoky flavor, which I can only imagine would be heightened by a charcoal grill. Grandma Imelda added raw onion as a finishing touch, but since I can't stand raw onion, I quick-pickled mine before adding it to the salsa. The result is the closest thing I've ever gotten to a restaurant salsa: hot, smoky and just a little chunky. It’s slightly sweet, too, which is tempered with a bit of lime juice.
