Reddit got on a bandwagon about pickle salsa, and I had to try it. It is worth the time. My take goes more along the lines of roasted green salsas than the original instructions.

Ingredients

Amount

Ingredient

5

large jalapenos (or 3ish poblanos)

2

serranos

5

garlic cloves

1

grip of cilantro

1/2

onion in two quarters

1

lime, juice plus zest

Method

1. Heat oven broiler (the brits call it a grill) on high with rack at highest position
2. Broil onion, whole peppers, and garlic in skins for 10-15 minutes or until deeply charred
3. Cut tops of peppers off, peel garlic
4. Dump a jar of pickles (Claussen or Grillo’s if you have any respect for yourself) into the blender and pass the liquid through a strainer to catch the spices, and include the juice.
5. Put everything else in the blender
6. Blend to your preferred consistency and let sit for a few hours.

Notes

Probably omit salt until trying the finished salsa.
