Directions

  1. 1
    The trick here is to roast most of your ingredients on high heat, getting a nice char to them.
  2. 2
    So lets begin.
  3. 3
    Preheat your oven to 475F.
  4. 4
    During this time add the tomatoes, onion, and serrano chilis to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  5. 5
    Drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, and place them in the preheated oven for roughly 25-30 minutes, or until they have completely charred.
  6. 6
    Remove from the oven and let them cool.
  7. 7
    When the vegetables have cooled, remove the skin from the tomatoes and discard.
  8. 8
    Place the tomatoes, onions, serranos, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice into a blender or food processor.
  9. 9
    Blend into a sauce.
  10. 10
    So you are going to basically pulse this into a puree but I will let you decide if you want to leave it a bit chunky for any textural purposes.
  11. 11
    Pour into a serving bowl and taste.
  12. 12
    Season with salt to get your desired saltiness.
  13. 13
    My wife and I both agreed that this was probably the best sauce I have made, and I finally got it down to the simple ingredients and proper roasting time.

    Give this a shot, and let me know what you think.
