Ingredients

• 1 pound plum tomatoes, stemmed and halved lengthwise
• 3 jalapeños stemmed and halved (see note)
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 cup water
• salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Combine everything but the salt and black pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
2. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Pour the contents of the pot into a blender or food processor and blend until well combined.
4. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Note

• We like spicy food so we keep some of the jalapeño seeds in. You can also use between 1-3 jalapeños in the recipe.
• This gets spicier if it sits for a few days.
