TOMATILLO SALSA
This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

Steps:
- Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
- Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

AUTHENTIC TOMATILLO SALSA
I stayed with the Ceja family a few years ago because I was nosing in on a documentary that was being filmed about their amazing family vineyard and Latino heritage. Amelia Ceja cooked meal after meal of scrumptious food, but unfortunately, this salsa is the only recipe I took away with me. It's soo good, and pretty easy to make. The tomatillos should really be done on a smoking-hot grill so you can get that smoky flavor. Yum.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tamarillos: Look for tamarillos that are deep red or orange in color, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid tamarillos that are green or have blemishes.
- Roast the tamarillos: Roasting the tamarillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a blender: A blender is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy salsa. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor.
- Adjust the heat level: The amount of chili peppers you add to the salsa will determine its heat level. If you like spicy salsa, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder salsa, use fewer chili peppers or omit them altogether.
- Serve immediately or store: Tamarillo salsa is best served immediately, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. To store the salsa, transfer it to an airtight container.
