Roasted Vegetables:
- 7–8 tomatillos, husks removed and sliced in half
- 4 garlic cloves, kept whole
- 2 thick slices onion (about ½-inch thick each)
- 2 slices of fresh pineapple, cored (or 2 rings of canned pineapple, patted dry)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 chipotle peppers in adobo (depending on heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional, plus more to taste)
- Roast the Vegetables and Pineapple: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place the tomatillos, garlic cloves, and onion slices on a baking sheet. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are charred and softened. Add the pineapple slices to the baking sheet during the last 2 minutes to lightly char them.
- Blend the Salsa: Once the vegetables and pineapple are roasted, transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the chipotle peppers and salt.
- Puree the Salsa: Pulse until the salsa is smooth and well-combined, or blend to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or chipotle peppers if you prefer more heat.
- Serve: Serve immediately with chips, grilled meats, tacos, or as a topping for any dish that could use a smoky, sweet kick.
- Store: If not using right away, store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
