Preparation
Step 1
To fire roast the tomatoes, put them in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet (do not use your thermalon/green pans for this – they will be scarred for life) with no oil. Turn the heat to medium high and let them blacken on the skins. Turn periodically until the tomatoes are nicely charred.
Step 2
Transfer tomatoes to a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend well.
Step 3
This salsa is terrific served warm but can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
