ROASTED CHIPOTLE SALSA

Steps:

• Place a comal or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; do not oil. Place garlic, onion, and tomato (all with their skins) in pan and roast, turning, as needed, with tongs, until blistered and charred all over. Let vegetables cool slightly, then peel off skins.
• In a blender, combine vegetables with chipotle chile and cilantro leaves. Whirl until coarsely pureed. (If using a mortar and pestle, finely chop cilantro leaves with cooked, peeled onion and garlic. Mash tomatoes and chipotle in mortar, then stir in chopped vegetables and cilantro). Squeeze lime juice into salsa, then stir in oil. Taste, season with salt, and serve. Can be made ahead, covered, and refrigerated up to 3 days.

ROASTED TOMATO CHIPOTLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Put the tomato quarters, shallot, and garlic on the baking sheet (the garlic will be easier to peel after roasting).
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the garlic is light golden brown.
• Peel the tomato and garlic, discarding the skins.
• In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients for 10 to 15 seconds, or until the desired consistency. Serve or pour into a small airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days.
