Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and quartered
1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
10 medium cloves garlic
15 small pasilla de Oaxaca chiles, stemmed and seeded
Kosher or fine sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine the tomatillos with enough water to come about halfway up the side of the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until they are soft, about 10 minutes; strain, reserving the liquid.
  • 2. Meanwhile, on a plancha or in a heavy skillet, melt the lard over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft and well charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes; transfer to the jar of an electric blender.
  • 3. Add the chiles to plancha and toast for 2 minutes per side. Remove, tear them into pieces, and add them to the blender. Pour in the reserved cooking liquid, add a large pinch of salt, and blend until smooth. Add the tomatillos, blend, and taste to adjust the salt, as necessary.

This salsa is a great make-ahead recipe. I like to make a big batch and then store it in the fridge for later use.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salsa wasn't too spicy for me. It had just the right amount of heat.

This salsa is the perfect addition to any Mexican dish. It's also great on eggs, burgers, and sandwiches.

I love that this salsa is made with all fresh ingredients. It makes it so much more flavorful than store-bought salsa.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover tomatillos. I always have a few in my fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I used a blender to make the salsa and it turned out smooth and creamy. I also added a bit of cilantro for extra flavor.

This salsa was a hit at my last party! The tomatillos and pasilla de Oaxaca peppers gave it a unique and delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making it again.
