Tomatillo And Yellow Tomato Salsa With Tortilla Chips Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO AND TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 425°.
• Arrange the tomatillos, tomato quarters, jalapeño, onion and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil to lightly coat.
• Roast the veggies for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the veggies have started to brown.
• Remove from oven and add the roasted vegetables into the bowl of a food processor or a small blender. Add the lime juice, salt, and cilantro leaves.
• Pulse until all of the ingredients are combined and your desired salsa consistency is achieved.
• Serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment.
• Store for up to 1 week in the fridge.

ROASTED TOMATO AND TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Husk the tomatillos and then rinse both the tomatoes and tomatillos. I usually remove the stems from both of them knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will go into the blender.
• Roast the tomatoes and tomatillos in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes. Here's why roasting tomatillos is better than boiling them.
• Add the roasted tomatoes and tomatillos to a blender along with 1/3 small onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 rinsed and de-stemmed jalapeno (or less for a milder version), 10-12 sprigs rinsed cilantro. Combine well (I usually leave it a bit chunky.)
• Take a taste for seasoning. I added another 1/2 jalapeno, a pinch of salt, and a generous squeeze of lime.
• Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for a bit before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where they will keep for a few days.

TOMATILLO AND YELLOW TOMATO SALSA WITH TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Make chips:
• In a kettle heat 3/4-inch oil to 375°F on a deep-fat thermometer and fry tortilla wedges, a dozen at a time, until crisp and most of bubbling subsides, about 1 minute, transferring chips with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle chips with salt to taste. Tortilla chips may be made 1 day ahead and kept in airtight containers.
• Make salsa:
• In a bowl combine well oil, tomatillos, tomatoes or bell peppers, onion, jalapeños, coriander, and salt to taste and chill salsa, covered, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Serve salsa with chips.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Purée the ingredients in a blender or food processor with 1/2 cup ice water. The salsa is best the day it is made but will keep a couple of days in the refrigerator.
