    Roasted Tomato Salad
    Ingredients:
    6 large tomatoes
    6 or so large fresh basil leaves
    3 cloves of garlic
    1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    salt and black pepper
    Dressing:
    1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar To garnish: 12 large fresh basil leaves 24 black olives

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a shallow roasting pan that is about 16 x12 inches. Skin the tomatoes by pouring boiling water over them and leaving them for 1 minute. Drain and and cool, then slip off the skins. Cut each tomato in half and place in the pan, cut side up. Season with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle on the chopped garlic evenly. Drizzle with olive oil and place a basil leaf on each half-making sure it's covered lightly in the olive oil also. Roast for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are slightly blackened. Serve the tomatoes at room temperature on individual serving plates with half a basil leaf and a black olive on top. Whisk the oil and vinegar together and drizzle over the tomatoes.

    Chipotles Salsa
    Ingredients:
    4 chipotle peppers
    1/2 cup water
    2 teaspoons vinegar-such as cider or white
    1 1/2 cups red ripe tomatoes, diced in 1/2 inch squares
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
    1/2 cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
    Place the chipotles in a medium-sized glass bowl (for the microwave) or small pan (for top of the range) and add the water and vinegar. Cover and simmer to soften the chiles-5 minutes in the microwave or about 30 minutes on top of the range. When done, uncover and allow to cool. In the meantime, prepare all the remaining ingredients and combine together, except for the cilantro.

    Finely mince the chiles, peel and all, and stir in, adding some juice as needed to make a salsa of the desired consistency. Add the cilantro.
