Restaurant style red salsa image

My good friend Juan is an amazing cook and gave me this recipe. I've added cilantro, green onion and a little bit of lime juice to make it taste just like the kind they made at the Mexican restaurants that I worked at in the past. Enjoy :)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3-4 - tomatillos
1 can(s) mexican style stewed tomatoes (regular 14.5oz can)
1 can(s) tomato sauce (small 8oz can)
1 cup(s) cilantro (chopped)
6 clove(s) garlic (minced)
1/2 - onion (chopped)
6-10 - chili de arbol (chopped)
1 - lime wedge
1/2 cup(s) chopped green onion
1 cup(s) water
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a pan to med heat. Rinse tomatillos and cut into quarters. Add tomatillos, stewed tomatoes (reserve the juice in the can for later) chopped garlic, onions, and chili peppers (I used 4 and it wasn't too spicy. Normally I'll add more because I love the heat but I was also making this for kids to eat as well) to the pan and let it cook for 20 mins or until the tomatillo skin feels soft.
  • Transfer everything in the pan into a blender and blend and add the stewed tomato juice so it mixes well and blend for 10 seconds or until everything is nice and mixed (salsa looking).
  • Pour salsa into a large bowl, add the chopped cilantro, water, squeeze of a lime wedge, salt and pepper. Let chill covered in the fridge for a few hours.
