Ingredients:


3 medium Roma (plum) tomatoes -- pan charred

1 slice white onion, thick -- pan roasted

1 medium garlic clove

2 medium serrano chilies with seeds -- roughly chopped

12 medium fresh cilantro leaves -- coarsely chopped

3 large fresh mint leaves -- finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon cumin seed -- toast and grind

1/4 cup water

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
 

Preparation / Directions:


PAN ROAST: begin by blistering the tomatoes on a cast-iron skillet (comal) then pan-roasting with onion slice and garlic to develop the sweeter flavors. Roast until deeply browned and soft. Next "toast" the cumin seeds over medium heat. Chop together with a knife or food processor the tomatoes, onion, garlic until you have a coarsely textured salsa. Add the chilies, cilantro, mint, cumin, water and salt. Process briefly to mix; salsa should be chunky. Keeps tightly covered up to 2 days in the refrigerator. About 1 cup.
