STEP 1 • Cut tomatoes in half and place face down on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Leave 1 tomato fresh (not cooked). • Peel 6 to 8 whole cloves of garlic, add to cookie sheet. • Quarter onion and bell pepper and add to cookie sheet. • Add whole jalapeños and peppers to cookie sheet. • Drizzle olive oil over everything on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook on 450 for 30 minutes. • Pull the garlic cloves off the cookie sheet half way into cooking so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Step 2 • Once vegetables come out of the oven, allow to completely cool. (Note: Don’t discard the juice from the vegetables. You will pour that into the blender as you mix.)
