Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium tomatillos, peeled
3 Anaheim chile peppers
2 large onions, peeled
2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Lay tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until tomatillos release their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove tomatillos and garlic from the baking sheet; flip Anaheim peppers, jalapeno peppers, and onions and return to the oven. Continue to broil until peppers are blackened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, about 5 minutes.
  • Peel away blackened parts from vegetables without taking off too much flesh. Transfer tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor and pulse until well combined and chopped. Refrigerate salsa until cold, at least 30 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 fresh poblano chile peppers
2 serrano chile peppers
6 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
1 1/2-inch slice of white onion
2 cloves garlic
salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Lay the poblano peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot grill, and cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the pepper skins are evenly charred and blackened, and the tomatillos have turned pale yellow and started to ooze juice, about 10 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill.
  • Scrape off most of the burned pepper skin, cut the stems off, cut the peppers in half the long way, and remove the seeds.
  • Place the onion and garlic in the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse about 4 times to chop. Drop in the peppers, pulse 4 times to roughly chop, and add the tomatillos and salt. Pulse 4 or more times to the desired smoothness, and stir in the cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tomatoes. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have a low water content. You can also use cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the salsa. This will concentrate their flavor and make them sweeter.
  • Use fresh herbs. This will give your salsa a brighter flavor. Cilantro, basil, and oregano are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to your salsa, such as corn, black beans, or avocado.
  • Serve your salsa immediately. Or, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
