Made a batch of probably my best ever salsa last night.
It was also the easiest, assuming a live BBQ- dig it:
1 medium tomato
1 smallish red & 1 smallish yellow bell pepper
2 jalapenos
1 thick slice (3/4") white onion.
handful of chopped cilantro
salt to taste
Grill all the vegetables until charred and soft.
Pull the tops off the peppers.
Dump the whole lot into a blender or food processor & puree thoroughly.
Salt to taste.
It was shockingly, outlandishly good given the humble preparation.
Now I'll be tempted to make a batch every time I fire up the grill- I wonder if it freezes worth a damn?
/edit
might as well throw in the super easy & delicious fajita/steak taco prep while I'm at it.
1 big chunk flank steak (or flap steak, they're equally tasty)
juice from 2-3 limes, depending on how much meat you've got
salt
Drizzle about half the lime juice over both sides of the steak & sprinkle well with salt.
Sear meat over the hottest part of the fire for a few minutes, then move to the edge & cook about 5 minutes per side.
Drizzle with the rest of the lime juice & let rest 10 minutes.
Cut thinly across the grain & serve with flour or corn tortillas.
