ROASTED RED GUAJILLO SALSA WITH TANGY TOMATILLOS



Roasted Red Guajillo Salsa With Tangy Tomatillos image

A while back I cooked my way through Mexican cookbooks and my favorites were always Rick Bayless. I discovered salsas using dried chiles through his cookbooks and found the taste and aroma to be much more complex and intense than fresh salsas. Although I love fresh salsas too, if I had the choice, I would choose salsas made from dried chiles. This one uses dried guajillo chiles but you can sub dried New Mexico, chipotle, pasilla, ancho or pulla.

Time 20m

Yield 2 C

Number Of Ingredients 8

vegetable oil (to 1/4 inch depth)
4 dried guajillo chilies
1 lb tomatillo, husked and rinsed (about 13 medium)
1/2 white onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 cup water (about)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (to your taste) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small skillet heat oil to a 1/4 inch depth over medium heat. Pull the stems off chiles and remove the seeds completely.
  • Lay chiles in the skillet and turn them over several times as they toast and change color on the inside from dark cranberry red to a red. This should only take 15-20 seconds. Remove and place on paper towels. Chiles will crisp as they cool. You can do this one chile at a time.
  • Lay the tomatillos on a baking sheet and set the pan 4 inches below the broiler and let broil until they are softened and black in places, about 5 minutes. The skin will split. Flip the tomatillos and roast other side for 4-5 more minutes or so. Set aside to cool. Do not peel off the darkened skins or cut out the cores.
  • Turn oven to 425 and lay onion rings and garlic on a baking pan and bake until onions are deeply golden and garlic soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend tomatillos including their juice with dry toasted chiles. Process to a smooth puree. Scrape two-third of the puree into a bowl.
  • Roughly chop onion and garlic and add them to the blender still containing the rest of the chile tomatillo mixture. Pulse repeatedly until moderately finely chopped. Add a little water to loosen everything up and keep pulsing. Stir in enough water to give the salsa a lightly consistency. Combine this with chile tomatillo puree in a bowl.
  • Taste and season with salt and bit of sugar. Use within 5 days or freeze.

Categories     condiment

Time 20m

Yield about 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 ounce small hot dried chiles, stemmed
6 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 pound (10 to 12 medium-size) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
Salt
Sugar, about 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps:

  • Toasting and roasting. Preheat a broiler.
  • In an ungreased skillet over medium heat, toast the chiles, stirring for 1 minute, until they are very aromatic (some will have slightly darkened spots on them). Transfer to a bowl, cover with hot water and rehydrate for 30 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, roast the garlic, turning regularly, until soft and blotchy-dark in places, about 15 minutes. Cool and slip off the papery skin.
  • Roast the tomatillos on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until soft, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes on each side. Cool, then transfer the contents of the baking sheet (including any juices) to a blender or a food processor.
  • Finishing the salsa: Drain the chiles and add to the tomatillos along with the garlic. Puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Stir in enough water to give a spoonable consistency, usually about 1/4 cup. Season with salt, usually 1 teaspoon, and the optional sugar. Refrigerated, the salsa keeps for several days.

Time 40m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds fresh tomatillos, husked and well rinsed
2 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 medium white onion, quartered
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Juice of 1/2 lime

Categories     easy, condiments

Time 45m

Yield 2 cups, serving six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chilies, roasted if desired (see below), seeded for a milder salsa, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion, soaked for five minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
About 1/2 cup water, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. If you wish to roast the chilies, place them on the baking sheet as well. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side (the chilies will be charred after a minute or two). Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat. If you have roasted the chilies, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop.
  • Transfer the tomatillos and chilies to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil. Add the onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

ROASTED TOMATILLO AND GARLIC SALSA



Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa image

Tomatillos, lots of garlic and spicy jalapenos charred under the broiler give this salsa a rich, earthy flavor. If you like your salsa very hot, added roasted Jamaican scotch bonnets instead of the jalapeno.

Time 40m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 head garlic cloves, separated and peeled
3 fresh jalapeno peppers
1 bunch fresh cilantro
½ cup water, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.
  • Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.

Red Roasted Tomatillo Salsa With Chiles image

This will keep a week in the fridge, but is best when made fresh. Recipe adapted from one by Rick Bayless.

Provided by zeldaz51

Categories     Mexican

Time 35m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (1/4-1/2 ounce) dried chili, chipotles (moritas)
4 dried chiles guajillos
3 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
5 -6 medium tomatillos, husked and rinsed (1/2 pound)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Set an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. If using dried chiles, break off their stems. Toast the chiles a few at a time. Set them on the hot surface, press flat for a few seconds with a metal spatula. They'll crackle a little and become freagrant), then flip and press down to toast the other side. Transfer the toasted chiles to a bowl, cover with hot water, and set aside for 30 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure even soaking. Drain the chiles, discarding the liquid.
  • On a heavy, dry skillet or griddle over medium heat, roast the unpeeled garlic, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and soft, about 15 minutes. Cool, slip off the papery skins, and chop roughly.
  • Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatillos on a baking sheet, and place about 4 inches from heat. When the tomatillos have blistered, blackened, and softened on one side, turn them over, and roast on the other side. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Scrape the tomatillos and their juices into a food processor or blender, and add the rehydrated chiles and garlic, and puree to the desired consistency. Transfer salsa to a serving bowl, and add enough water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency, about 3 to 4 tablespoons. Season with salt, and add 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional) if you want to soften any tartness.
