Terrific Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

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.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
• Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Start the tomatillo salsa by heating a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Add the halved tomatillos and jalapeño slices, cut-side down. Nestle halved onions, cut-side down, into pan. Add garlic cloves. After several minutes, stirring occasionally, check pan: Tomatillos and jalapeños will cook faster than the onions, so when they are soft and browning (after about 5 minutes), remove them to a bowl. If necessary, add ¼ cup (60ml) water to deglaze pan and finish cooking onions and garlic. Remove onions and garlic when softened. Deglaze pan again using 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water, and add water to salsa mixture. Cover the bowl containing the cooked salsa ingredients, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• To finish, transfer mixture to a blender and puree until chunky, adding 1 tablespoon (15ml) water at a time, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

• 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.
