Roasted Salsa

Now, I've dabbled with a few different salsa recipes in the past. My fav was a pineapple and black bean that I made months ago. But I've never really made a "I think I could eat this on anything" kind of salsa. I mean, when you have pineapple and black beans in it, you limit your options just a bit...not much, but I'm not sure I would have put that on say...eggs. In my constantly renewed efforts to eat healthy, salsa is a real good go-to. Its so much better for you than most other condiments. Especially when homemade. You can control and/or omit things like salt and sugar. This recipe is super easy and does just that. No sugar and minimal salt. I'm sure you could actually omit the salt. When I think about it I probably should have since most often we go to town on salsa with tortilla chips that have salt on them. Note to self.

This. Is. Easy. And makes a hearty portion of salsa. I adapted it from a recipe that I saw online but can't currently find. I was eating this stuff when it was still hot, temp wise, cause I just didn't care. It was also hot, spice wise, but again, didn't care and I loooove spicy food. Roasting all the veggies gives it some awesome flavor. So here it is....uber good, roasted salsa.

INGREDIENTS:
14 roma tomatoes
2 yellow onions
10 serrano peppers
5 cloves garlic
1 bunch cilantro
1 teas salt

*Slice tomatoes in half and place cut side up on a sheet pan. Peel and slice onions in half and again, cut side up. Cut the caps off the peppers and peel the garlic and place both on the pan.
*Roast at 375 for 45 minutes, or until your peppers start to go black.
*Put in a food processor along with chopped cilantro and salt. Process until desired consistency.

Garlic Butter Naan

Here's the recipe, from my post on veggie curry, for the naan. It turned out great. Do note though that this recipe makes a large amount of naan. However, I can now testify that freezing the dough totally works. I just made some a few minutes ago and enjoyed it. These turned out as nice individual sized pieces(even though I just ate three). I cooked them up on my George Foreman, which was slightly time consuming because there is only so much space to work with. But cooking 2 at a time and your good to go in just a few short minutes. We still have a bunch in the freezer to be pulled out whenever that naan craving hits.

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 teas active dry yeast (equals one packet)
1 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar
3 tbls milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teas salt
4 1/2 cups flour
cooking spray
butter
garlic salt

*In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in the warm water. After 10 minutes stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and 4 cups of the flour.
*Knead on a floured surface until super smooth. If too sticky add more flour, as needed. Place in a well oiled bowl and let rise for an hour.
*Punch down the dough. Pinch off and roll into small balls. Place them on a try and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise for another half an hour.
*Heat up your Foreman, or large skillet if you so choose. Melt a little butter and mix with a dash of garlic salt in a small bowl and set next to your grill. Stretch out dough until nice and thin. Spray the grill and place dough on it. Cook until browned. Brush uncooked side with garlic butter and flip, grilling again until browned.
*Enjoy.
