Ingredients

  • 2 lbs roma tomatoes
  • 4 jalapenos stems removed
  • ¼ large sweet onion cut into 2 inch chunks
  • 1 cup cilantro thick stems removed
  • 2 habaneros stems removed
  • 1 20 oz can pineapple chunks, tidbits, or slices in 100% juice
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Line tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions on baking sheet. Broil on high (about 4 inches below broiler) for 5 minutes. Flip the veggies and roast for 5 more minutes until they are blistered and charred.
  • Place roasted veggies, cilantro, habaneros, pineapple, and salt in food processor. Pulse until desired consistency. (If using a small food processor, pulse half the ingredients at a time).
  • Allow to cool to room temperature or refrigerate if preferred.

Notes

Tips & Tricks
  • Cut off the thick stems of the cilantro before using. Cilantro stems are good in some recipes, but they make this salsa a bit woody. I cut off the stems just below the leafy greens. 
  • Smell the jalapeños to gauge the spiciness. Generally, the spicier they smell, the spicier they will be. The more you smell jalapeños, the more familiar you will become.
