Ingredients :

* 7 firm medium tomatoes – cold
* 1 small jalapeno
* 1 clove garlic
* 1 teaspoons salt
* 1 1/2 cup water
* juice of 1 lime
* 2 tablespoons white onion diced
* 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

How To Make :

1. Preheat bbq grill to high heat
2. Place 6 of the tomatoes, stem side down (remove any stems), diretly on the grill. Allow the tomatoes to roast over the flame for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. When the tomatoes are very charred and blackened on the first side, flip them over and continue to grill for another 20 to 30 minutes until most of the surface of each tomato is black.
4. When you flip over the tomatoes, add the jalapeno pepper to the grill
(take the stem off first). The jalapeno skin will blacken like the
tomatoes. Turn the pepper as it cooks so that the entire surface
darkens.
5. Take the tomatoes and pepper off the grill and put them in a bowl
to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Dump the tomatoes and pepper and any liquid in the bowl into a blender. Add a clove of garlic and the salt and blend on high speed until pureed. Add water and lime juice and blend again on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds. As the blackened bits of tomato are chopped finer, the sauce will darken.
7. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Dice the remaining tomato and add it ot the salsa. Add the onion and cilantro, then cool the miture in the refrigerator.
