Smoked Salsa

 From ALLRECIPES this was soooooo easy to make and so delicious - we can't wait to make it again! Only thing we do differently is substitute the garlic powder with whole peeled garlic cloves in smoke process.

• 4 tomatoes, diced ( I had 2 very large beefsteak tomatoes)
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 orange bell pepper, diced
• 3 jalapeno peppers, diced
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste (next time I am adding 4 whole peeled garlic cloves to the roasting)
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• • Step 1

    Preheat a smoker grill to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions. ( we used applewood)

  • Step 2

    Combine tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers in an aluminum grill pan. Place on the grate of the preheated smoker grill; smoke for 3 hours.

  • Step 3

    Remove vegetables from the smoker and place in a blender. Blend to desired consistency. Mix in lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add fresh cilantro for decoration.
