Ingredients:


1 pinches black pepper

1 pinches salt

3 medium limes

2 tablespoons cilantro

1 medium Onion -- red, chopped fine

10 medium chiles -- habaneros

4 cloves garlic -- peeled and crushed

5 tablespoons olive oil

6 medium plum tomatoes -- cut in half
 

Preparation / Directions:


Heat the oven to 475F. Put the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil. Sprinkle with some garlic, salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 min. until they begin to char. Meanwhile charcoal-grill the Habaneros until they are blistered, turning once. ( Alternatives :1. Skewer them on a fork, one by one, and hold them in the flame of a gas ring, roughly 3 min 2. Use a hot broiler for about 5-6 min., turning once.) Dice the tomatoes and mix with all the other ingredients, season. You can keep the salsa for up to 5 days in the fridge, covered. This salsa is great, mixed with plain rice or pasta.
