Roasted Tomato and Green Chile Salsa; Salsa de Molcajete

ROASTED TOMATO AND GREEN CHILE SALSA; SALSA de MOLCAJETE
very good...

This was a very good fresh, home made salsa. We all liked it very much and it's definitely worthy of making again.

One of the problems that I've had with some of the recipes in this cookbook, is that the directions are not always very clear or precise. For example, in this recipe it tells you to broil the tomatoes, garlic and jalapeno peppers, and to cool and peel the tomatoes and garlic, but not the jalapenos. I know from experience that you need to peel the skins and remove the seeds. The picture in the cookbook clearly does not show the seeds from the jalapeno peppers, but the directions do not tell you to remove them. A little more clarity in some of the recipes would be helpful, especially for a novice cook.

Another thing to note is that this salsa does not seem very hot at first bit, a bit warm, but not hot; however, when you continue to eat the salsa the heat does intensify and lingers for quite some time, so be prepared for that. My hubby was drinking milk along with all the spice we had tonight.

Final synopsis, the flavors of this salsa are good and is a definite keeper.
