Roasted Jalapeno Salsa


I love spicy food! And yet I am aware of the fact that many people do not. Some people actually do not even like spicy food. So I make many dishes more mild than my taste buds delight in. This recipe, torn out of a magazine, can accompany soups and chili to add a bit of heat, keeping the mild and hot people happy at the same meal.

4 jalapenos, halved
1/2 c. fresh cilantro leaves
1 - 2 T. fresh lime juice
1 T olive oil
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper

Place jalapenos on a broiler-proof baking sheet, cut side down, and broil until slightly charred (this may take anywhere from 3 - 5 mins). Slice crosswise and in a small bowl toss with the remaining ingredients. Serve with soup or chili.

Yes, you are an excellent food picture-taker. Maybe you should apply at some magazines or something... Hmmm.
