Author Notes
This recipe is customized from a Put together dinner’s Illustrated Huevos Rancheros recipe, and it grew to change into my move-to salsa from the 2d I first made it. The total veg roasts up in the oven, and then every part goes into the food processor and also you are performed! Or no longer it’s additionally easy to riff on: add extra cayenne or jalapeño for a spicier version, extra tomato paste for a tomato-ier version, puree roughly for smoother or chunkier versions. My friend Jennie suggests including a teaspoon of flooring Szechuan peppercorns for an sudden bite—no longer “legitimate” by any methodology, nonetheless weird and wonderful and fine. —Sarah Whitman-Salkin
