Time 15m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb tomatillo
1/2 small garlic clove
2 -3 dried chilies (chiles de arbol)
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Peel and rinse the tomatillos. Heat a griddle or a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the tomatillos and broil, turning often with a spoon, until the skins are blackened and the tomatillos are very soft, do this over low heat so that they don't burn. They wont all be ready at the same time, so remove the ones that are ready before the rest. Set aside.
  • Add the chiles to the griddle, turning the over constantly, until they darken, again being careful not to burn them.
  • Remove the chiles and put them in a blender with the tomatillos, the garlic, the water and the salt. Puree just until no large pieces remain, it should have some texture. Taste before serving and adjust the salt to your taste. If it comes out too hot you can always add more tomatillos.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Ingredients: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes, fresh cilantro and onions for an authentic flavor.
  • Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting intensifies the flavors of the tomatoes, giving the salsa a richer, smokier taste.
  • Use a Comal or Cast Iron Skillet: These traditional Mexican cooking tools evenly distribute heat, resulting in perfectly roasted tomatoes.
  • Don't Over-Roast the Tomatoes: Keep a close eye on the tomatoes and remove them from the heat once they begin to blister and char. Over-roasting can result in a bitter taste.
  • Use Good Quality Salsa Base: A good base, such as tomato sauce or canned tomatoes, can enhance the overall flavor of the salsa.
  • Experiment with Different Peppers: Feel free to adjust the type and amount of peppers used to achieve your desired level of spiciness.
  • Add Fresh Herbs and Spices: Cilantro, garlic, cumin, and oregano are classic additions that add depth of flavor to the salsa.
  • Taste and Adjust: Always taste the salsa before serving and make adjustments to the seasonings or ingredients as needed.
