Best Tomatillo Hash With Sausage Recipes

TOMATILLO HASH WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Remove the sausage from its casings and form into 1-inch balls.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil and sausage balls and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet.
• Add onion, peppers and salt to the skillet (add a little more oil, if needed), and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatillos and cook 2 minutes longer, until just softened.
• Add wine or broth and return the sausage balls to the skillet. Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Serve over the brown rice, chopped cilantro would be a nice touch.

CHILI VERDE WITH SAUSAGE AND PUMPKIN

Steps:

• Make the tomatillo salsa: Preheat the broiler. Remove the husks from the tomatillos, then rinse the tomatillos under warm water to remove any stickiness. Dry with a paper towel. Put the tomatillos, chiles, garlic and sliced onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on 2 teaspoons or so of salt. Broil a few inches from the heat, turning everything once, until the tomatillos are softened and slightly charred, about 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Transfer the broiled vegetables to a blender; add the cilantro and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the chili: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it up, until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon out and discard the excess fat, leaving 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pot. Stir in the oregano and garlic and cook, stirring, about 3 more minutes.
• Stir in the tomatillo salsa, hominy (including the liquid), cilantro and pumpkin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the pumpkin is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Top with cilantro and chiles.

SMOKED TROUT HASH WITH TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• At least 4 hours or up to a day before serving, put potatoes into boiling water to cover and boil until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• To make salsa: Mix tomatillos, arbol chili, onion, garlic, cilantro, spinach, jalapeño and half the salt in a blender until smooth. Taste and add more salt if desired. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Grate cooled potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Combine in a large bowl with cheese, chives, pepper and remaining salt, tossing together gently with hands.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet, add potato mixture and distribute evenly in pan, pressing down lightly. Cook, undisturbed, 4 to 5 minutes, until brown on the bottom. With a large spatula, gently turn mixture over (don't worry if it breaks) and redistribute in pan. Cook 4 minutes, until well crisped. (Do this in 2 batches if pan is not large enough.) Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm. (To make individual potato cakes, use a 7-inch skillet and cook 4 cakes, one at a time.)
• In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat, add trout pieces and cook, stirring, to heat through. Scatter over potato mixture, garnish with cilantro and serve with eggs on top and salsa on side.
