This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

Time 40m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh tomatillos
1 large Spanish onion (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 jalapeno (seeds and all if you like heat)
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher or fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA



Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

Recipe courtesy of Truly Mexican by Roberto Santibanez with JJ Goode (copyright (c) 2011), as published by Cooking Channel. That simple blueprint - tomatillos, chiles, garlic - that you follow to make the previous salsa will lead you to another super salsa. The difference? You roast the garlic. That seemingly minor change takes barely any extra effort - after all, you're already roasting and toasting the other ingredients - but adds so much complexity and a haunting sweetness that plays off those tangy tomatillos. As for chiles, I love using smoky chipotles, but chiles de arbol add nuttiness and serious heat, while pasillas de Oaxaca, if you can get your hands on them, one-up chipotles with smokiness and a touch of fruitiness. The choice is yours. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days. Original recipe:http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-with-chipotle-and-roasted-garlic.html

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 1/4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb tomatillo, husked and rinsed (5 or 6)
3 chipotle mora chilies, wiped clean and stemmed (purplish-red color)
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fine salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Set the oven or toaster oven to broil (alternatively, you can preheat the oven to 500degreesF) and preheat. If you're using the oven broiler, position the rack 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Put the tomatillos on a foil-lined baking pan and roast in the oven, turning them over once halfway through, until their tops and bottoms have blackened and the tomatillos are a khaki-green color and cooked to the core, 20 to 30 minutes. Let them cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat and toast the chiles and roast the garlic on the comal, turning them over frequently until the chiles have puffed up and are blistered in spots, 3 to 5 minutes, and the garlic is tender and golden brown with some blackened spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Put the roasted tomatillos, chiles, and garlic in the blender jar with the water and salt and blend until smooth (the tomatillo seeds will still be visible). Season to taste with additional salt.

Delicioso!

AUTHENTIC TOMATILLO SALSA



Authentic Tomatillo Salsa image

I stayed with the Ceja family a few years ago because I was nosing in on a documentary that was being filmed about their amazing family vineyard and Latino heritage. Amelia Ceja cooked meal after meal of scrumptious food, but unfortunately, this salsa is the only recipe I took away with me. It's soo good, and pretty easy to make. The tomatillos should really be done on a smoking-hot grill so you can get that smoky flavor. Yum.
