   3                    Plum tomatoes
     1/2                Fresh habanero chiles --
                        - up to 3 *
     1/4  c             Water
     1/8  ts            Coarse salt -- or to taste

Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately low heat until
hot and pan-roast tomatoes and habaneros, turning them occasionally
to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, 25 to
30 minutes. Discard tomato stems and wearing rubber gloves, stem and
seed chiles. In a blender purée tomatoes, chiles, water, and salt
until smooth. (Salsa may be made 10 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
Bring salsa to room temperature before serving.)

Yield: 1 Cup
