  10. Roast tomatoes and chiles, using the method of your choice (see above), turning with tongs to darken all sides.
  11. While tomatoes and chiles are cooking, sauté onion in oil over low heat until tender and almost translucent. Do not allow to brown. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  12. Cut out stem ends of cooked tomatoes and cut into quarters. Remove stems and seeds from chiles; cut into quarters. To remove seeds, spear the chile with a fork, cut in half, and then use the tip of the knive to scrape out the seeds.
