Step 1

Rinse and de-stem the tomatoes.  Roast the tomatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

Add the roasted tomatoes to a blender along with 1/2 onion, 1 garlic clove, and only 1/4 of the jalapeno.  Pulse blend until combined.

Step 3

Taste for heat level. Add another 1/4 of the jalapeno if you want additional heat. Keep adding additional quarters of the jalapeno until you find a heat level that works for your taste buds.

Step 4

Salt to taste.  Serve immediately.

Step 5

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
