Too chared?


Trying to make salsa for the first time in 2 years, did I over broil these ?

    The tomatoes look perfect. If you find the onions a bit too burnt you could always just peel off the outer layer. Those garlics might be over burnt yes. Garlic cloves being real small I’ve found I personally dislike over charred garlic.

    But also heavy charring is called for in some salsa types like “ash salsa” or salsa ceniza. Even some Salsa Negra gets its color from charring.

    Overcooked garlic is bitter, so I definitely wouldn’t recommend using it.

    Correct me if im wrong but dont most recipes call to remove the tomato skin anyways? Just remove the skin and the first layer on the onions. I bet if you leave a couple of the charred tomatoes or onions it will add more flavor too. I have no suggestion on the garlic though.
