TOMATILLO SALSA

Dare to deviate from tomato salsa and try this tomatillo-based version for a deliciously addictive change of pace. It's fantastic on its own with tortilla chips or served as a condiment alongside a variety of meats. -Lori Kostecki, Wausau, Wisconsin

QUICK GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA



Quick Green Tomatillo Salsa image

I make this tangy, versatile tomatillo salsa to accompany a range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's always great with shrimp and fish, and it's my go-to salsa for tacos with chicken in the filling, and with vegetables like potatoes and greens, summer squash and corn. I roast the tomatillos under the broiler before blending them to get a deep, toasty flavor. You can also roast the chiles if you want a deeper roasted-spicy flavor, as opposed to grassy-spicy flavor. If you wish to roast the chiles alongside the tomatillos, place the whole chiles on the baking sheet, too; they will be done faster than the tomatillos, only a minute or two on each side. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop, then proceed with the recipe.

Categories     dips and spreads

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, coarsely chopped (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
1/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
  • Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Tomatillo salsa, one of the great taco toppings, is a cinch to make. In this 2011 recipe, the tomatillos, stripped of their papery skin, are paired with Serrano chiles and cilantro. Made from just four ingredients, it comes together in moments and is a superb complement to tacos or tortilla chips.
