How to Make Roasted Pepper And Basil Salsa

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat or prepare your grill for high heat cooking.
  2. Roast the bell peppers: Place the peppers directly on the grill grates or on a broiler pan. Turn frequently until the skins are blackened and blistered on all sides (about 8-10 minutes per side).
  3. Transfer the peppers to a heatproof bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 15 minutes. This will make peeling much easier.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel off and discard the charred skin. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the peppers.
  5. Finely dice the roasted peppers.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peppers, minced garlic, chopped basil, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  8. Cover the bowl and let the salsa rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
