- 1 green chile
- A fist sized bunch of fresh cilantro/coriander
- Salt to taste

- Halve the tomatoes lengthways and place them face down in the frying pan
- Peel the garlic cloves and place them in the pan together with the chile* and onion
- Roast the vegetables in the pan, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned all over
- Place the roasted vegetables in a blender with the cilantro/coriander and a pinch of salt
- Pulse for about 10 seconds until well blended, but not completely smooth
*Remove the seeds from the chile if you don’t want your Salsa Roja too spicy!
