Ingredients

9 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 

1 large white onion, quartered 

3 jalapeno chiles, plus more if desired 

2 garlic cloves, unpeeled 

Coarse salt

Preparation

Preheat broiler. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until tomatoes and jalapenos are charred, about 7 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

Peel the roasted garlic. Transfer to a blender along with the charred tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon salt. Puree until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add water as needed. Season with salt to taste.
