I was brave this time. Can't believe I actually enjoyed this salsa with the amount of heat it had. When it comes to salsa I always go for flavor before heat. In this case I was being adventurous and tried to meet the two somewhere in the middle. In the end I could have used a little less heat (I know I know, what a disgrace ha?!) At least I am trying to broaden my spicy taste bud experiences right? For this salsa I wouldn't say that I hit a home run because we felt that it needed something to bring down the acidity level (I put a little too much lemon juice I think). Overall there was a good amount of flavor though.
Any takers on testing this one out for me? Suggestions?

FYI......put the tomatillos in an oven safe dish because they will get messy.
I have so much cilantro because I got it real cheap so I put some in with the tomatillos while they baked in the oven, but you don't have to.
Cover with foil.

Bake in the oven @ 450 degrees for about 40-45 minutes.
See what I mean. Messy but a yummy treat for salsa so make sure you keep those juices contained.
Don't they look so preeety.
Oh yeah, by the way....your house is gonna smell sooooooooo good that you will want to cook these again just for the aroma.
Bring out your food processor or blender and start blendin' your oven roasted veggies one at a time.
I started with the onion and serranos, set that aside in a large bowl then just continued with whatever I could comfortably fit inside my food processor. After each batch I added it to the large bowl to combine everything.

How I used this 3-pepper roasted salsa you may ask. Well..........
I sauteed garlic in butter then added some shrimp. A few minutes later threw in some salsa, mixed it all together until the salsa was nice and warm and coated all the shrimp. Gave my husband a taste then I ate about 3/4 of the bowl of shrimp.
Another weakness.

Livened up last nights leftover corn.
Definitely coming back for more of this!
My favorite though was using it on tonights dinner: Steak Tacos with freshly boiled pinto beans, shredded monterey jack cheese, chopped lettuce, all on a warm flour tortilla.
Are you hungry yet?
