Salsa Chilmol

Directions

1. 1
   Cut tomatoes into fourths. Place in small saucepan with just enough water to cover the tomatoes.
2. 2
   Add salt and bring to boil. Simmer tomatoes for about 20 minutes.
3. 3
   Wash chile de arbol with cold water. Pat dry and remove stems.
4. 4
   Toast the chile de arbol in a toaster oven on aluminum foil. Watch closely, as chile can burn quickly. Toast until dark brown. If you don't have a toaster oven, toast in a dry pan, turning chile often so it doesn't burn.
5. 5
   Place toasted chile in the blender and blend until it is finely powdered. Place a paper towel under the lid of the blender to keep powder from escaping.
6. 6
   Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup of the liquid to the chile in blender and puree until smooth.
7. 7
   Chop onion and cilantro. Combine all ingredients.
8. 8
   Simple and delicious. Enjoy.
