Heat the oven to 475F. Put the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet and
drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil. Sprinkle with some garlic, salt and pepper.
Roast for about 15 min. until they begin to char.

Meanwhile charcoal-grill the Habaneros until they are blistered, turning
once.

You can keep the salsa for up to 5 days in the fridge, covered. This salsa
is great, mixed with plain rice or pasta. Alternatives:

1. Skewer them on a fork, one by one, and hold them in the flame of a gas
ring, roughly 3 min.

2. Use a hot broiler for about 5-6 min., turning once.) Dice the tomatoes
and mix with all the other ingredients, season.
