DIRECTIONS

1.) Turn the broiler on. Place the tomatoes, onion and garlic on a baking sheet and broil until the vegetables are blistered and soft, turning occasionally, approximately 10 minutes. Cool slightly.

3.) Heat a small skillet until smoking. Place the chile in the skillet and toast until the aromatics are released, turning once. Remove chile immediately and break into pieces.
