Roasted Salsa

Recipe by: Benjamin Jones

10 Roma tomatoes
10 pasilla peppers
2 to 4 tsp salt
2 to 4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Slice tomatoes and peppers in half and arrange cut side down on baking sheet. put in preheated oven until tomatoes and peppers start to darken substantially.  The peppers and tomato skins will blister up and even blacken. this is a good thing.

After a while, 20 to 30 minutes for those who need a clock, remove from oven and allow to cool completely. After cool, put roasted vegetables in a blender or Cuisinart.  Add salt and pepper to taste Always good to add cilantro, a little oregano or cumin.
