QUICK FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA



Quick Fresh Tomatillo Salsa image

Tomatillos, which are closer botanically to the gooseberry than to the tomato, have a wonderful acidic tang. To get the best out of them they should be simmered or grilled for about 10 minutes, until they're soft and the color has gone from pale green to olive. You can use them for a quick, blended salsa (like the one in this recipe) and also for a cooked salsa, which has a rounder, seared flavor. Use on tacos, or as chip or vegetable dip, or alongside grilled chicken or pork.

Time 45m

Yield 2 cups, serving 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chiles, seeded for a milder salsa, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1/4 to 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro (to taste)
Salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1/4 to 1/2 cup water, as needed

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until softened and olive green. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender. Add the chiles, onion, cilantro, and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse puree. Transfer to a bowl, add salt, and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt, and set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

Provided by Beth F.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 dozen medium tomatillos
4 -6 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno pepper
1/4 small onion
salt
pepper
1 lime, juice of
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Peel clean and quarter tomatillos. When buying tomatillos it is a good idea to check to make sure they are all good.
  • Peel garlic and cut jalapeno discarding seeds (add some of the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot).
  • Place tomatillos, garlic, onion and jalapeno in your food processor. With chopping blade pulse several times until consistency is fine and consistent.
  • Pour mixture into a sieve and drain off the liquid.
  • In a bowl combine tomatillo mixture with 1/2 to 1tsp salt, about 1/2 tsp black pepper, cilantro and the lime juice. I add as much of the lime pulp as I can because it tastes so great in the salsa.
  • Taste can be adjusted by adding more lime, garlic or jalapeno. If your tomatillos are especially sour you may add a little sugar.
