TOMATILLO SALSA FRESCA

Tomatillo Salsa Fresca image

A fresh tomatillo salsa that is very easy to make using a blender. I dislike cooked tomatillos for two reasons: they lose their lovely green color and the texture to me is unsatisfactory. The beauty of tomatillo salsa is that it's cheap to prepare and it freezes well. Adapted from 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes.

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb tomatillo (approximately 10-12 medium tomatillos)
1/3 cup white onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, lightly packed (NOT dried)
1 jalapeno pepper (for extra "kick", I use serrano and jalapeno, but any green chili pepper will do)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

First prepare the tomatillos. Remove papery husks and then rinse tomatillos under warm running water, using your fingers to remove the sticky residue. Remove stems.
Chops into quarters.
Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.
Blend either coarse or smooth, depending on your preference.
Transfer tomatillo salsa to covered container and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Good with tortilla chips, enchiladas, tacos, etc.
I always triple the recipe and freeze in 8 ounce containers.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Tomatillo Salsa image

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.

QUICK ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Quick Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

This is a classic Mexican blender tomatillo salsa. Once the tomatillos are roasted there is no cooking involved. Serve this tangy, medium-hot salsa with roasted or microwaved tortilla chips, or use it for quick tacos or as an easy condiment for grilled fish or chicken.

Categories easy, condiments

Time 45m

Yield 2 cups, serving six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 to 4 jalapeño or serrano chilies, roasted if desired (see below), seeded for a milder salsa, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion, soaked for five minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
About 1/2 cup water, as needed

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. If you wish to roast the chilies, place them on the baking sheet as well. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side (the chilies will be charred after a minute or two). Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat. If you have roasted the chilies, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop.
Transfer the tomatillos and chilies to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil. Add the onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup water to the 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.

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.

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

Ingredients

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.
