GREEN TOMATO (OR TOMATILLO) SALSA



Green Tomato (Or Tomatillo) Salsa image

Try this one. It's from National Center for Home Food Preservation. It's a great way to use up those green tomatoes at the end of the season. Note: I do not peel the green tomatoes or the peppers. This is great for enchiladas or burritos.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h55m

Yield 5 pints

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups tomatillos, chopped (or green tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups green chilies, seeded, chopped
1/2 cup jalapeno, seeded, finely chopped (or other hot peppers)
4 cups onions, chopped
1 cup lemon juice, bottled bottled or 1 cup lime juice, bottled
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin (optional)
3 tablespoons dried oregano leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Caution: Wear plastic or rubber gloves and do not touch your face while handling or cutting hot peppers. If you do not wear gloves, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or eyes.
  • Preparing Tomatillos: Remove the dry outer husks from tomatillos; wash thoroughly. They do not need to be peeled or seeded.
  • Preparing Peppers: The skin of long green chiles may be tough and can be removed by heating the peppers. Usually when peppers are finely chopped, they do not need to be skinned. If you choose to peel chiles, slit each pepper along the side to allow steam to escape. Peel using one of these two methods:.
  • Oven or broiler method to blister skins - Place chiles in a hot oven (400°F) or broiler for 6 to 8 minutes until skins blister.
  • Range-top method to blister skins - Cover hot burner (either gas or electric) with heavy wire mesh. Place peppers on burner for several minutes until skins blister.
  • To peel, after blistering skins, place peppers in a pan and cover with a damp cloth. (This will make peeling the peppers easier.) Cool several minutes; slip off skins. Discard seeds and chop.
  • The peppers do not need to be peeled, but seeds are often removed.
  • Hot Pack: Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir frequently over high heat until mixture begins to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2O minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Ladle hot into clean, hot pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids.
  • Process pints for 15 minutes in a BWB.
  • Note: You may use green tomatoes in this recipe or tomatillos.
  • Important: The only other change you can safely make in this salsa recipe is to change the amount of spices and herbs. Do not alter the proportions of vegetables to acid and tomatoes because it might make the salsa unsafe. Do not substitute vinegar for the lemon juice.

QUICK GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA



Quick Green Tomatillo Salsa image

I make this tangy, versatile tomatillo salsa to accompany a range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's always great with shrimp and fish, and it's my go-to salsa for tacos with chicken in the filling, and with vegetables like potatoes and greens, summer squash and corn. I roast the tomatillos under the broiler before blending them to get a deep, toasty flavor. You can also roast the chiles if you want a deeper roasted-spicy flavor, as opposed to grassy-spicy flavor. If you wish to roast the chiles alongside the tomatillos, place the whole chiles on the baking sheet, too; they will be done faster than the tomatillos, only a minute or two on each side. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop, then proceed with the recipe.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, coarsely chopped (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
  • Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes. Use firm, ripe tomatillos or green tomatoes. If using tomatillos, remove the husks and rinse them well. If using green tomatoes, core and slice them.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. Use ripe apples, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños.
  • Don't overcook the salsa. Salsa is best when it is fresh and chunky. Cook the salsa just until the tomatoes and apples are softened but still hold their shape.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or chili powder, if desired.
  • Serve immediately or chill before serving. Salsa can be served immediately after it is made, or it can be chilled for several hours or overnight. Serve salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or other Mexican dishes.

Conclusion:

Tomatillo or green tomato apple salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes.
