AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
I have been making tomatillo and avocado salsa for years, but I usually simmer the tomatillos rather than roasting them. Roasting the tomatillos, chiles and garlic - toasting really, as I use a skillet for this, on top of the flame - produces a salsa with a delicious charred flavor. I learned something recently from the chef Iliana de la Vega, who demonstrated the recipe at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference in Napa Valley in March: she says, in no uncertain terms, that you should not add water to tomatillo salsas. Without the water, this is a more intense salsa with pleasing density.You can use it as a sauce to serve with chicken or fish, or as a dip with chips or other vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
- Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

ROASTED TOMATILLO-POBLANO-AVOCADO SALSA
One of my favorite new cookbooks of this season is "A Mouthful of Stars" (Andrews McMeel), by Kim Sunée. The book is a memoir, travelogue and cookbook all rolled into one, written by an author who earlier published another compelling memoir with recipes, "Trail of Crumbs." Kim is a poetic world traveler who loves many cuisines. She is a big fan of taco trucks and loves salsa, the spicier the better. This salsa is based on her recipe for roasted tomatillo-poblano salsa. I love its balance of char, heat, acid and creamy. I'm a moderate when it comes to heat, but you can make this hotter by adding more chiles.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
- Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

ROASTED POBLANO PEPPER & TOMATILLO SALSA
This is my own recipe -- just a lot of trial and error. This really makes a fresh, tasty salsa without an abundance of heat. This salsa is mild to medium, but if you want to tone it down even further, add 2-3 teaspoons of cider vinegar and one medium to large peeled carrot, pureed.

Steps:
- Slice poblano pepper into medium-thin strips, avoiding seeds.
- It is not necessary to use the entire pepper as poblano peppers can sometimes be large (bell pepper sized).
- Peel garlic and chop each clove in half.
- Place all of this in shallow pan and roast for 20 minutes under broiler set to low toaster oven works fine.
- If you have a kitchen torch, you may use this to fire-roast the peppers as well.
- Drain liquid from canned tomatoes and canned chilies, chop Roma tomato into quarters.
- Peel and chop onion into quarters.
- Do the same with the tomatillos.
- Add all of this to a food processor and process until salsa is thoroughly blended.
- Add olives and the juice of the lime and process again.
- Add half of the cilantro leaves, roasted poblano peppers and garlic, black beans (if used) and tequila and process again, adding the corn at the final stage of processing to ensure the corn is not puréed.
- Salsa should be a nice consistency.
- Dont over-process!
- Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in 2-4 teaspoons of sea salt (to taste), any additional lime juice that can be squeezed and a teaspoon of coarsely-ground pepper.
- Zest the lime and add this to the salsa.
- If you dont have a zester, simply use a fine cheese grater.
- This adds a great fresh zing to the salsa.
- Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to mesh.
- Immediately prior to serving, chop the remaining cilantro leaves and stir into the salsa.
- Serve with your choice of corn tortilla chips!

Fresh salsa and guacamole should be used as condiments for quesadillas, not sandwiched between the tortillas, since their flavor is stronger and served cool.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Remove husks and rinse tomatillos under warm water to remove stickiness. Halve onion half and arrange on rack of a broiler pan with tomatillos and garlic. Broil vegetables 1 to 2 inches from heat, turning them once, until softened and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
- Peel garlic and put in a food processor with tomatillos, onion, cilantro, and salt. Wearing rubber gloves, discard seeds from jalapeño if desired and coarsely chop. Add jalapeño to tomatillo mixture and puree until mixture is almost smooth. Transfer tomatillo mixture to a bowl.
- Halve and pit avocado and scoop flesh into tomatillo mixture. With a fork mash avocado into mixture, leaving texture coarse.
Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatillos and poblano peppers: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Poblano peppers should be dark green and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the tomatillos and poblanos: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and smokiness of these vegetables. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Remove the skin from the tomatillos and poblanos: Once roasted, the skin of the tomatillos and poblanos will be easy to remove. Simply peel it off with your fingers.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. Use ripe avocados, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Don't over-blend the salsa: You want the salsa to have a chunky texture, so don't over-blend it. Pulse it in a food processor or blender until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Conclusion:
Roasted Tomatillo Poblano Avocado Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It's also great as a dip for chips or vegetables. With its smoky, tangy, and creamy flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
