Steps:

• Chop the tomatoes and jalapeños into big chunks. Also peel the garlic cloves. Place them on a heated pan along with 4-5 cloves of garlic. You can remove the seeds of the jalapeños if you want to reduce the spice level.
• Place the tomatoes, jalapeños and garlic on a heated pan. I have not added any oil in this recipe, but you can coat the pan with a layer of oil if you want. Alternately you can also grill them in the oven.
• Roast the vegetables till the they are soft and smoky. Do not be afraid if the edges of the vegetables turn black. The charred veggies give a nice flavor and color to the salsa.
• Add some onion to the pan and roast till it turns golden brown or translucent.
• Transfer the roasted veggies to a food processor or blender and make a puree. You can add some water to get the desired consistency.
• Add the roasted onion to the blender and make a puree.
• Now add black pepper powder, red chilli powder and salt, as per your taste. Also add some lime juice.
• Add chopped cilantro (coriander leaves) and puree the mixture well. Adjust the consistency by adding water if needed. Generally the salsa should be of a thick chunky consistency.
• Tomato Salsa or Salsa Roja Asada is ready. You can refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before serving.

SALSA ROJA ASADA - W30

Steps:

• Place the halved tomatoes on a baking tray very close to the broiler element in your oven. Broil on high for 5 minutes.
• Remove the skins, flip the toms and broil on the other side for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, back at the ranch, cook the chiles and garlic in a nonstick pan - don't use any oil or any anything. Just let those puppies roast, turning frequently. Allow the skins to become quite black, this will give a nice roasty flavor to your salsa, and will make removing the peels much much easier.
• Place the shallot, cilantro and salt in your handy dandy thermomix or food processor. Blitz until minced fine.
• Add in the roasted and peeled chiles and garlic. Blitz again, scraping down the sides as needed. Be careful when you open up the top - those spicy ingredients might make your eyes water.
• Carefully add in your roasted tomatoes and blend until you have a nice thick puree. Add in the lime juice, mix through and you are done! This is best made a few hours ahead so that the flavors have a chance to gel.
