We like to serve grilled fish over a coulis made by pureeing half the salsa until smooth and adding olive oil until the mixture is the desired consistency.

　　

Ingredients

makes 4 cups

　　1 poblano chile

　　2 pounds (about 6 medium) green tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped

　　1 small or 1/2 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, finely chopped

　　1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped

　　4 scallions, sliced thinly crosswise

　　2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

　　1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

　　1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　

Step 1

Roast the chile directly on a gas-stove burner over high heat, or under the broiler, turning as each side blackens. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel off the skin; discard the stem and seeds. Finely chop the chile, and place in a medium bowl.

　　

Step 2

Add the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, scallions, lime juice, oil, and cilantro. Stir. Season with salt and pepper; let stand 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
