    Ingredients:

    • 1 small yellow onion
    • 3-4 garlic cloves
    • 3-4 fresh tomatoes or 1 small can of whole peeled tomatoes
    • 1-4 habanero peppers, depending on how spicy you want the salsa
    • ~1/3 cup soy or grapeseed oil

    Prep:

    1. Roast onion, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers at 425 for about 20-25 minutes.
    2. Blend and add oil slowly.  Taste for salt and pepper.
    3. Server warm.
