I like Mexican-style salsas with dried red chilies and tomatoes blended smooth. Chopped onion and mild green peppers add texture, while hot red and green peppers round out the flavor. Everything gets charred in the broiler or on the grill.
Roasting the tomatoes gives them a nice deep flavor, and combined with the smoky flavor of the chipotles, this salsa is a hit! What a great use for your summer tomatoes.
For charcutepalooza's month of binding I made two terrines. One with chicken livers and the other with tuna. Then we enjoyed it with a pinkies up picnic pah-tay.

Mango Chipotle Barbecue (BBQ) Sauce - A little heat, a little sweet. Delicious on chicken and equally mouth-watering on baked tofu. (Really! No kidding!)
