Ingredients:
- 1 large red onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
- 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- 8 plum tomatoes, cored and cut in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 long green chiles, seeded and diced
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 cup water (use your judgment)
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
In a large, heavy tinfoil lined heatproof pan, spread the onion, garlic, jalapenos, and tomatoes. Drizzle olive oil and salt over all. Place pan under the broiler and cook until tomatoes are charred, about 8 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature.
Place mixture in a blender or food processor. Add lime juice, cumin, cilantro and water. Process until well combined and slightly chunky, but not completely liquified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
