Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 mini sweet peppers, mixed colors
1 small white onion
1 1/2 pounds medium tomatillos, husks removed
1 ripe avocado, 3/4-inch dice
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup queso fresco, crumbled
1/4 cup toasted pepitas

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high and adjust an oven rack to the top level.
  • Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Dice the peppers and onion into bite-size pieces (about 1/2 inch).
  • Place the tomatillos stem-side down on a sheet pan and place under the broiler. Char until the tops are blackened, about 3 minutes. Flip and broil 3 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet on high heat and add the peppers and onions. Spread them out in an even layer and sear in the dry skillet until lightly charred, about 4 minutes.
  • Dice the tomatillos into 1/2-inch chunks. Toss all the vegetables into the bowl with the lime dressing. Stir in the diced avocado and top with the cilantro, queso fresco and toasted pepitas.

TASTY TOMATILLO GUACAMOLE



Tasty Tomatillo Guacamole image

A flavorful guacamole that's easy to adjust to your heat or taste preferences. A little untraditional to make, but won't stay around long. Great with fresh tortilla chips or as a condiment on many Latin dishes.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 fresh tomatillos, husks discarded and tomatillos rinsed
1 white onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded if desired
1 ½ cups water, or amount to cover
salt to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
3 ripe avocados, halved lengthwise and pitted

Steps:

  • Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers into a saucepan over medium heat, and pour in enough water to cover. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the tomatillos soften and change color from bright green to a yellow-green color, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the tomatillo mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, about 1 minute; mix in salt, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend again for a few seconds just to mix.
  • Scoop out the avocado flesh, and place into the blender; blend until well mixed. Adjust salt, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.

TOMATILLO GUACAMOLE



Tomatillo Guacamole image

This is a guacamole with a punch. The roasted tomatillos blended with hot chilies add acidity and spice to the creamy avocados. It has the luxuriousness of guacamole at just over half the calories.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, serving six

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound fresh tomatillos, husked
1 jalapeño or 2 to 3 serrano chilies, seeded if desired and roughly chopped
10 cilantro sprigs, plus additional leaves for garnish
Salt to taste
2 small or 1 1/2 large ripe avocados
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender, tipping in any juice that has accumulated on the baking sheet. Add the chilies, cilantro sprigs and salt to the blender and blend to a coarse purée.
  • Cut the avocados in half and twist the two halves apart. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl or the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Mash with a fork or pestle. Do not use a food processor or a blender, as you want to retain some texture. Stir in the lime juice, the tomatillo mixture and salt to taste and combine well. Transfer to a bowl and serve with baked or microwaved tortilla chips or crudités, or use for tacos or avocado sandwiches.

TOMATILLO GUACAMOLE

Tons of flavor with half the calories of regular guacamole! A Martha Rose Shulman recipe from the New York Times. I added more cilantro and lime juice, as well as a little garlic powder; I'll definitely use more than 3 serranos next time, as it was quite mild.

CHARRED TOMATILLO SALSA



Charred Tomatillo Salsa image

Tomatillos, a staple of Mexican cuisine, give this salsa its distinctive flavor; use to top a pile of Nachos Supremo.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Cuisine-Inspired Recipes     Mexican-Inspired Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed, and patted dry
1/2 large sweet onion, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 large jalapeno, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack set in upper position. Place tomatillos on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, turning once, until skins are blistered and charred, about 10 minutes. Remove from broiler. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool on baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, place onion, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro, mint, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Quarter tomatillos and add them, along with any accumulated juices from the baking sheet, to the bowl of the food processor; pulse just until combined.
  • Transfer salsa to refrigerator and let chill for at least one hour before serving and up to overnight.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatillos: Ripe tomatillos have a sweeter and more flavorful taste than unripe ones. To check if a tomatillo is ripe, look for one that is firm to the touch and has a deep green color.
  • Roast the tomatillos before using them: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the tomatillos, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are charred.
  • Use a variety of chiles: This recipe uses a combination of jalapeño and serrano chiles, but you can use any type of chile that you like. If you want a milder guacamole, use fewer chiles. If you want a spicier guacamole, use more chiles.
  • Add some acidity: The acidity in this recipe comes from the lime juice. Lime juice helps to brighten the flavors of the guacamole and prevent it from browning.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the guacamole. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.

Conclusion:

This Charred Tomatillo Guacamole is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply enjoying at home. The roasted tomatillos give the guacamole a unique smoky flavor, and the combination of chiles, lime juice, and cilantro makes it a flavorful and refreshing dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this Charred Tomatillo Guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
