Categories     condiment

Time 20m

Yield about 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 ounce small hot dried chiles, stemmed
6 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 pound (10 to 12 medium-size) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
Salt
Sugar, about 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps:

  • Toasting and roasting. Preheat a broiler.
  • In an ungreased skillet over medium heat, toast the chiles, stirring for 1 minute, until they are very aromatic (some will have slightly darkened spots on them). Transfer to a bowl, cover with hot water and rehydrate for 30 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, roast the garlic, turning regularly, until soft and blotchy-dark in places, about 15 minutes. Cool and slip off the papery skin.
  • Roast the tomatillos on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until soft, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes on each side. Cool, then transfer the contents of the baking sheet (including any juices) to a blender or a food processor.
  • Finishing the salsa: Drain the chiles and add to the tomatillos along with the garlic. Puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Stir in enough water to give a spoonable consistency, usually about 1/4 cup. Season with salt, usually 1 teaspoon, and the optional sugar. Refrigerated, the salsa keeps for several days.

This salsa is delicious! The roasted tomatillos give it a unique smoky flavor. I also love the spiciness from the chiles. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this salsa! It's the perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and tangy. I love to use it on tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It's also great as a dip for chips.
