ROASTED RED PEPPER SALSA

This delicious salsa recipe, served at the B&B during the summer months when we have fresh peppers from the garden, is good anytime of the year by substituting the jarred peppers.   Great served with toasted pita triangles, tortilla chips, with cheese, as a condiment with roasted chicken, as a pasta sauce, as a spread for a great sub or breakfast tacos…..  The list is endless…..
4 red bell peppers (may substitute a jar of fire roasted red peppers)
1 Tb. olive oil
½ cup dried tomatoes (1/3 cup dried tomatoes in oil may be substituted for dried tomatoes. Drain tomatoes well, pressing between layers of paper towels)
3 Tb. chopped fresh basil
1 Tb. balsamic vinegar
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
¼ tsp. Ground red pepper

Roast peppers on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet at 500 degrees for 12 minutes or until peppers look blistered, turning once. Place peppers in a heavy duty ziploc plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins. Peel peppers; remove and discard seeds. Coarsely chop peppers. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
Pour boiling water to cover over dried tomatoes. Let stand 3 minutes; drain and coarsely chop. Stir together bell pepper, tomato, basil and remaining ingredients. Cover and chill salsa up to 2 days.
