TOMATILLO SALSA



Tomatillo Salsa image

This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

Time 40m

Yield about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh tomatillos
1 large Spanish onion (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks (about 3 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 jalapeno (seeds and all if you like heat)
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher or fine sea salt

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.

AWESOME TOMATILLO LIME SALSA



Awesome Tomatillo Lime Salsa image

For most folks, salsa can be a very personal thing. What I love, you might not... and vise versa. Such is the nature of salsa. About 10 or so years ago I chanced to be traveling in Mexico, and destiny had me stopping in Zihuatanejo for lunch. I was served the best tomatillo/lime salsa I have ever had. I also had the best ceviche...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
6-8 medium tomatillos
2 medium anaheim chili peppers, or hotter peppers, if you prefer
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp salt kosher variety, to taste
1/4 c fresh cilantro, minus stems, chopped
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your ingredients.
  • 3. Remove the husks from the tomatillos, and thoroughly rinse.
  • 4. Chef's Note: When you remove the husks, the skin of the tomatillo will be very sticky to the touch. Make sure that you wash them until all that stickiness is gone.
  • 5. Remove the stem portion of each tomatillo, and then roughly chop.
  • 6. Add the tomatillos to a food processor, fitted with an S-blade or the bowl of a blender.
  • 7. Chef's Note: Give them a few pulses, until they begin to break up.
  • 8. Add the pepper, garlic, and yellow onion, and use 1-second pulses until the ingredients are of an even consistency.
  • 9. Add to a small saucepan over medium low heat.
  • 10. Add the salt, and bring up to a slow simmer.
  • 11. Simmer and stir for 15-20 minutes.
  • 12. Remove from heat, and allow the salsa to cool down to room temperature, about 1 or 2 hours.
  • 13. Stir in the cilantro, and then add the lime juice.
  • 14. Chef's Note: I think that the lime juice, and the salt really make this salsa. I like mine heavy on both those ingredients; however, this is where you can make this salsa your very own. Add the lime juice a bit at a time, and taste. You also might want to add a bit more salt... or not.
  • 15. Cover and place in the fridge for several hours, or overnight. This will give the ingredients a chance to get to know one another.
  • 16. Chef's Note: Just to let you know, you don't have to cook this salsa at all. You can take it out of the blender, mix in the other ingredient, and serve as it.
  • 17. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 18. Serving suggestions • Serve with your favorite chips. • Drizzle over chicken or fish. • Use it to top off a good burger. • Spread over a baked pork tenderloin Enjoy.
  • 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
