How to Make Jeow Laotian Salsa

  1. Preheat your grill, comal, or oven to medium-high heat.
  2. Roast 1 pound of tomatoes, 3-5 Thai chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and 4 cloves of garlic directly over the heat source or on a baking sheet. Continuously turn the garlic to ensure even cooking. Roast until the tomatoes and chilies are blackened and softened, and the garlic is caramelized (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the roasted tomatoes, chilies, and garlic.
  4. Combine the peeled vegetables with 1/2 cup of packed fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a food processor or blender.
  5. Puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chilies for extra heat, fish sauce for saltiness, or cilantro for freshness.
  6. Serve immediately with sticky rice, grilled meats, or your favorite vegetables. Enjoy the authentic taste of Laos!
