Mexican Recipe for Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Roasted Tomatillo SalsaROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA (improved!)

This green salsa has a rich but tangy flavor that comes from blackening the tomatillos and chiles. It’s relatively mild but you can easily up the “bam” factor by adding more chiles! I know it may sound kind of weird to you if you're new to salsas, but you have to believe me when I tell you that it's really, really good. In fact, it's superb with pork entrees, enchiladas or virtually any dish. If you can't find fresh tomatillos in your supermarket, you can buy them canned. If you want to go with a ready-made version (good but not as good), then look for Herdez Salsa Verde, Embasa Green Jalapeño Sauce or any green salsa listing tomatillos as a key ingredient. This makes about two quarts.



3 cups fresh tomatillos, skinned and rinsed
-or- 3 cups canned green Mexican tomatillos, drained
5 - 10 fresh jalapeño chiles, halved and seeded if desired (to lessen heat)
1 large white onion, finely chopped
4 – 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large bunch cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp chicken bouillon (Knorr Suiza is the Mexican favorite)
¾ cup water

 

 Place clean, skinned tomatillos and seeded jalapeños in large skillet. Cook over medium high heat until tomatillos are blackened and soft. Remove from stove and cool for a few minutes. When you can handle the chile mixture, put in food processor and puree. Put in a large bowl and set aside.

Into the skillet, pour in the water. Stir in bouillon. When boiling furiously, toss in onion and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens to a good salsa consistency. (This varies from person to person, so just turn it off when it looks done to you.) Stir in cilantro. Pour in tomatillo-chile mixture and combine. Place in quart size jars and refrigerate. It's best if refrigerated at least 8-12 hours and will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
