Salsa de Mojcajete
1 clove garlic, peeled
1-2 Hot chiles of your choice
2 tomatoes
cilantro to taste
salt
Roast chiles and tomatoes on a very hot comal (griddle). Place garlic in a mortar and crush; add chiles and crush; add tomatoes (Be careful. They will squirt juice everwhere if you don't break them carefully in the beginning.) and crush and stir to blend. Stir in chopped cilantro and salt to taste.
If you don't have a Mexican or Asian mortar, a blender will do the trick. Just don't over-blend.
