Description

Ingredients

• 1 or 2 habanero peppers, depending on your tolerance for spicy food
• 5 medium-sized tomatoes (I used Roma tomatoes.)
• ½ medium-sized red onion, roughly chopped
• handful of cilantro
• ½ tsp. salt, plus more to taste

Directions

• Preheat your oven to broil.
• Bring two quarts of water to a boil.
• Add the tomatoes, and boil 3-5 minutes, or until the skins begin to loosen.
• Remove the tomatoes from the water, slice off the tops, and slide off the skins with your fingers, discarding them.
• Place the peppers under the broiler for 2-3 until they start to shrivel and blacken.
• Using silicone-tipped tongs, flip the peppers and broil another 2-3 minutes.
• Puree the tomatoes in a high-quality blender or food processor until smooth. My NutriBullet Blender had these tomatoes perfectly pureed in under ten seconds.
• Add the pepper(s), onion, cilantro and salt, and blend until smooth again.
• Gradually add more salt in ¼ teaspoon increments until it suits your taste.
