Roasted Tomato Salsa

This is a basic, and extremely delicious salsa recipe. You can substitute different peppers (Anaheim for Jalapeno for example), or even Mangoes for Tomatoes... it is entirely up to you.

3 Ripe Tomatoes
3-5 cloves of Garlic (unpeeled)
1 large Red or White Onion (cut into quarters)
1-2 Peppers (depending on variety, and how spicy you want it)
Lime Juice
Cliantro (fresh if available)
Olive Oil

Set the oven to 200C or 350 F. Put tomatoes, garlic, onion, and pepper into a dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 15 minutes, and reduce the heat... you can cook for up to 45 minutes. When the tomato skins blister and crack, you should take the dish out of the oven and allow to cool. Peel skin from tomato, garlic, onion, and pepper (NOTE: wash your hands with COLD water and soap after wards... or wear gloves for this part)
Finely chop all ingredients (tomatoes, pepper, onion, garlic, fresh cilantro) and put in a bowl with the juice of 1 lime.
Allow the salsa to set for about an hour, and enjoy!
