Charred Habanero Salsa
3 plum tomatoes
1/2 to 3 fresh habanero chiles |
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp. coarse salt, or to taste |
Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately
low heat until hot and pan roast tomatoes and habaneros, turning them occasionally
to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, 25 to 30 minutes.
Discard tomato stems and wearing rubber gloves, stem and seed chiles.
In a blender purée tomatoes, chiles, water, and
salt until smooth. (Salsa may be made 10 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
Bring salsa to room temperature before serving.)
Makes about 1 cup.
