Once the tomatoes are charred and squishy, remove them from the heat and place them in a glass bowl.

Blend the roasted tomatoes and jalapeños in a mini prep in batches.

Add 3 cloves of raw garlic to the last batch of blended tomatoes.

Chop some cilantro finely and blend the stems with the tomatoes for texture.

Mix in about a teaspoon of salt, blend everything together, and taste.
