Ingredients:
3 to 5 large, ripe tomatoes
3 poblano peppers, or hotter variety if desired
1 serrano chili, diced
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 red onion, diced
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup tomato juice
Juice of 1 lime

Directions:
Boil tomatoes and 1 poblano pepper together. Remove tomatoes when

approximately 10 minutes. Reserve pepper and tomato water. Roast
garlic, seranno chili, and remaining peppers until dark roasted.
Turn over and roast other side. Remove from oven and skin peppers
while hot. Dice peppers when cooled. In a small bowl, blend and
mash garlic in 1/2 cup of the reserved pepper and tomato water and
