XIAN’S SALSA RECIPE

“Here is the salsa I keep in my fridge at all times. A day does not go
by that I do not put this stuff on something. Since I began adhering to
this ritual my quality of life has improved dramatically.

1. Roast a few tomatoes, poblanos, and serranos. To do this, stick'em
on skewers and toast'em like marshmallows in your gas flame until they
blister (if you have electric, throw'em in an iron skillet and roll'em
around).
2. Do the same thing with a couple cloves of garlic.
3. Chop up a bunch of onion and marinate it in juice of 1 lime for at
least 15 minutes (this is key).
4. Chop up everything else and chuck as much or as little of it into a
blender as you want, depending on how chunky you like it. Mix it
together with the unblended stuff. It will look foamy and unpleasant,
but that's just air bubbles. They go away in a little while.
5. Mix in the onion and some cilantro and some salt, and maybe some
chipotle powder from Penzey's. Done, and done.”
