Instructions

Start by giving the Hatch chiles and tomatoes a good rinse. Roast the tomatoes and chiles in a 400F oven for 20-30 minutes.
De-stem and de-seed the roasted chiles. You can also pull off and discard any loose bits of skin from the chiles. De-stem the tomatoes as well.
Add the chile pieces and one of the tomatoes to a blender along with 2 peeled garlic cloves, 1/4 onion (I used white onion), 5-6 sprigs of cilantro (optional), 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a splash of water. Combine well. You can optionally add the second roasted tomato, I only used one for this batch to keep the Hatch flavor at the forefront.
Take a final taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. You can also add another splash of water if you want it a bit thinner.
Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portion of the cilantro stems, but use the upper portion that holds the leaves together.
Roasting the chiles on a grill or over open flame are viable options too.
