Salsa Ranchera

1 lb tomatoes, broiled
4 serrano chiles or any fresh, hot green chiles, charred
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2 T vegetable oil
2 T finely chopped white onion
1/2 t salt, or to taste

Blend the tomatoes. chiles, and garlic together until fairly smooth.

Heat the oil, and fry the onion gently, without browning, until it is
translucent. Add the blended ingredients and the salt and cook over fairly
brisk
heat for about 5 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan until
the
sauce has reduced a little and is well seasoned.

Note: The sauce can, of course, be made several hours ahead; it will keep
one day to another. It also freezes well, but as it tends to separate it is
best to defrost and blend briefly before using.

Chocolate Custard (Flan de Chocolate)

For the caramel sauce:
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
2 Tbs (30 ml) water

For the custard:

3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar

To make the caramel sauce, combine the sugar and water in a small
saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cook, stirring

carefully (it will be extremely hot) into a 6-cup (1.5 L) mold or
