Tomato Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add tomatillos. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain., Place the tomatillos, tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and seasonings in a food processor. Cover and process until blended. Serve with chips.

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 SALSA

Steps:

• Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
• Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Ladle into pint jars.
• Leave 1/2 inch head space.
• Adjust lids, process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Be sure to wear gloves when chopping peppers as they will burn fingers.
• Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.
• I use a food processor for chopping.
• If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.
