Step 1
Set oven to broil. Line a sheet pan with foil. Arrange tomatoes, peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves on the pan.
Step 2
Broil 8-10 minutes until tomatoes blister and char deeply, peppers char at edges, and garlic softens.
Step 3
Cool slightly. Peel charred skin off peppers. Squeeze softened garlic from its skin into a bowl.
Step 4
Roughly chop charred tomatoes and peppers. Add to bowl with garlic, crushing tomatoes slightly with a spoon.
