Andy's Green Chili Stew reminded me of a recipe I got from a Mexican friend several years ago. It is really good on any grilled meat or with chips. The recipe is not really exact. I just watched him and learned.

Categories     Salsas

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium tomatillos (about the size of a tennis ball) if you can not find these, buy accordingly.
2 slice about 3/4 of an inch each of yellow onion
1 jalapeno pepper (if you like a lot of heat, add another)
2 clove garlic, peeled
1 handful of fresh cilantro leaves
salt and pepper to taste
beer as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Husk tomatillos and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and add garlic cloves. Bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes until nearly tender. Drain. Smash garlic cloves up a little.
  • 2. Roast onion slices and entire jalapeno (or two, if desired) on a fire until slightly charred and rather soft. You want some black on them. That is so much flavor! It helps to thread the onion slices on a metal skewer. I do this on my gas stove. Just put it right on the grate. Watch every second and turn as needed. You could also do this on a countertop grill or a dry heavy skillet (not non stick due to high heat).
  • 3. Remove stem from jalapeno (or two, if desired) and place all ingredients in a blender adding about 1/4 cup of beer. Just try the one pepper first. I NEVER saw my friend use more than one.
  • 4. Pulse in a blender until thoroughly mixed and the consistency you desire. Adjust seasonings and add more beer if too thick. It gets better as it sits. If you need more heat, add the other pepper if needed. I never saw my friend use more than one. If you roasted one and do not need it, just freeze for later use.
  • 5. Serve as a condiment or with chips.
  • 6. The roasting of the onion and pepper is so important to this sauce and truly gives it a unique flavor.

I thought this salsa was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This salsa was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less jalapeƱo pepper.
