BAJA FRESH SALSA BAJA (copycat)

I asked a guy behind the counter at Baja Fresh how they blacken the tomatoes, and developed this recipe. As with the commercial product, it will turn out different every time you make it. I have found that aside from the blackened tomatoes, fresh raw garlic is required to make it work.

10 large tomatoes for grilling
2 jalepenos (adjust amount for heat)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 large onion chopped
2 large fresh garlic cloves
1 can clear chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
1 fresh tomato diced
Salt to taste

Slice 10 large tomatoes in half and place halves skin down on a grill liner on a gas grill. Roast at highest flame for 1 1/2 hours. Roast peppers for last 1/2 hour to blacken. Do not roast the garlic.

Put blackened tomato (now in black crisp form), peppers, garlic, lime juice, onion, oil, salt, and a small amount of the chicken broth in a food processor and puree.

Transfer to a bowl. Add one diced tomato and cilantro and mix with a spoon. Mix in chicken broth little by little until desired consistency is reached (BF's makes it a liquid consistency.) Add more salt to taste.
