My mother-in-law loves Tex-Mex but has an onion allergy. After several attempts, I invented an authentic-tasting salsa without onions that derives some of its smoky flavor from roasted poblano pepper. I've taken to roasting the peppers in bulk so I can always have some on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 poblano pepper
- 3 cloves garlic , peeled
- 5 ripes tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven's broiler.
-
2
Place poblano pepper and garlic cloves on a medium baking sheet. Turning pepper frequently, broil at maximum distance from heat until browned, about 15 minutes.

3
In a food processor, place roasted pepper, roasted garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Process using pulse setting until an evenly chunky texture is obtained. Chill until serving.
