Here is the long awaited Roasted Salsa Recipe. Any time I make this people seriously fall in love with me.
Depending on where you get the jalapenos, and how hot you like your salsa, you can adjust the amount to your liking. I’ve found that using the same amount of jalapenos sometimes results in very hot salsa and other times it results in medium or even mild salsa. You can sometimes tell the heat of a chili by smelling it, but it is not a 100% proof method. Experimenting is recommended.
Enjoy.

- Place all the roasted vegetables and the cilantro in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until large chunks are gone. Work in several batches if there is too much to fit in the work bowl.
