Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound tomatillos, husked and halved
2 slices pineapple (each about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch thick)
3 fresh serrano chiles, stemmed
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped white onion

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 5 or 6 seconds). Grill tomatillos, pineapple, and chiles, flipping once, until blackened and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
  • Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a large knife on a cutting board, crush together garlic and salt to form a paste. Pulse garlic paste, tomatillos, chiles, and honey in a food processor until coarsely combined; transfer to a bowl.
  • Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch dice. Add pineapple, cilantro, and onion to the tomatillo mixture; stir until combined. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a light green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos and pineapple. Roasting the tomatillos and pineapple intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky taste. If you don't have a grill, you can roast the tomatillos and pineapple in a broiler or oven.
  • Use fresh cilantro. Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • Adjust the heat level. This salsa is mild, but you can add more jalapeño peppers to make it hotter. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño peppers altogether.
  • Serve the salsa immediately. This salsa is best when served fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This grilled tomatillo and pineapple salsa is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used as a condiment for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. The roasted tomatillos and pineapple give the salsa a smoky and sweet flavor, while the cilantro and jalapeño peppers add a fresh and spicy kick. This salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
