  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat ( 230° to 290°C).
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the tomatoes and jalapeño (skin side down) over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until the skins are blackened and blistered in spots, turning as needed. The tomatoes will take 4 to 6 minutes and the jalapeño will take 2 to 3 minutes. Put the tomatoes and jalapeño in a food processor along with the remaining sauce ingredients, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil on the stove. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
