SALSA VERDE: GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA
Steps:
- Whether you choose the verdant, slushy, herby freshness of the all-raw tomatillo salsa or the oil-colored, voluptuous, sweet-sour richness of the roasted version, tomatillos are about brightening tang. The buzz of the fresh hot green chile adds thrill, all of which adds up to a condiment most of us simply don't want to live without.
- For the All-Raw version: Roughly chop the tomatillos and the chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, chiles, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Process to a coarse puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.
- For the Roasted version:
- Preheat a broiler.
- Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until darkly roasted, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more will give you splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos and chiles, including all the delicious juice that has run onto the baking sheet. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, blend to a coarse puree, and scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove the excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.

- Using a molcajete: Mash and grind together the chiles, 1/2 cup cilantro, the garlic, onion, and salt. Add the tomatillos a few at a time, crushing and grinding well after each addition and adding a little of the cooking liquid until you have a textured sauce of medium consistency. You will probably need about 1/2 cup or even more of the cooking liquid.

Add the tomatillos a little at a time, blending with about 1/3 cup more of the cooking liquid until you have a textured sauce of medium consistency. Add salt to taste.

Steps:
- Place tomatillos,chilis, onion, and garlic in big pot (I use my old spaghetti pot) add water just to cover. Sprinkle salt over the top. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to med-low and cook until tomatillos are soft and have turned slightly brownish in color 20-30 minutes. Add water if needed to keep from burning as it cooks.Drain the liquid off the vegetables and mix in a blender until smooth
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatillos: Look for firm, green tomatillos with no blemishes. The greener the tomatillos, the tarter the salsa will be.
- Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and parsley, add a lot of flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Adjust the heat level: The amount of jalapeños you use will determine the heat level of the salsa. If you want a milder salsa, use fewer jalapeños. If you want a spicier salsa, use more jalapeños.
- Let the salsa rest: After you make the salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Salsa verde is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used as a condiment, dip, or marinade. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, roasted tomatillo salsa verde is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
