Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Halve the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, and serrano peppers lengthwise and discard stems and seeds. Place on baking sheet and brush the peppers with olive oil. Roast peppers under the broiler until the skin blackens and blisters. (3-5 minutes)

03

Step

Place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; allow the peppers to steam until the skins loosen. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Peel skin off the peppers and discard.

05

Step

Combine the roasted peppers, onion, tomato, garlic, cilantro, diced tomato with juice, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and beer in a blender. Blend to desired consistency.

06

Step

Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool in the refrigerator before serving. (30 minutes)

For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos and serranos.
Adjust the amount of beer to your liking. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with chicken broth or vegetable broth.
Roasting the vegetables is key to developing the rich, smoky flavor of this salsa. Don't be afraid to let them char slightly.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A pinch of sugar can balance the acidity of the tomatoes and lime juice.
