2 pound(s), (900 g) cut in half, seeded

Jalapeño pepper

4 medium, stemmed, cut in half lengthwise

Cooked corn

2 ear(s), medium, shucked

Vidalia onion

1 pinch(es)

Instructions

  2. Place tomatoes and jalapeños (both cutsides up), corn and onion in smoker (or on grill); smoke vegetables long enough to impart a smoke flavour (but not so long that you cook them), 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a platter; let cool to room temperature.

  4. Serving size: 175 ml (3/4 cup)

Notes

This is best made no more than three hours ahead of serving. Leave seeds in jalapeno for a hotter salsa,remove for a more milder salsa. Make your grill a smoker Not ready to invest in a stovetop or outdoorsmoker? No need — here’s how to smoke on your own grill. For charcoal grill: Throw 2 cups dry(unsoaked) wood chips directly among the preheatedbriquettes. For gas grill: lift grilling grate and placea handful of chips directly on heat bars (Weber calls them "flavorizer bars"). For both: Run the grill onhigh until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to mediumlow.
