Time 15m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb tomatillo
1/2 small garlic clove
2 -3 dried chilies (chiles de arbol)
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Peel and rinse the tomatillos. Heat a griddle or a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the tomatillos and broil, turning often with a spoon, until the skins are blackened and the tomatillos are very soft, do this over low heat so that they don't burn. They wont all be ready at the same time, so remove the ones that are ready before the rest. Set aside.
  • Add the chiles to the griddle, turning the over constantly, until they darken, again being careful not to burn them.
  • Remove the chiles and put them in a blender with the tomatillos, the garlic, the water and the salt. Puree just until no large pieces remain, it should have some texture. Taste before serving and adjust the salt to your taste. If it comes out too hot you can always add more tomatillos.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. This will give your salsa a more vibrant and flavorful taste.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before adding them to the salsa brings out their natural sweetness and complexity of flavor.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: Different types of chili peppers provide different levels of heat and flavor. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect balance for your taste buds.
  • Add some acidity: A squeeze of lime juice or a splash of vinegar can help to brighten up the flavors in your salsa and add a refreshing touch.
  • Don't overcrowd the salsa: When making salsa, it's important not to overcrowd the blender or food processor. This can result in a salsa that is too thick and chunky. Instead, work in batches if necessary.
  • Let the salsa rest: After making your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop.
