In this healthy salsa recipe, tomatillos are softened on the grill and slightly charred for smoky flavor. To vary the heat in this salsa recipe, use 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder for mild and up to 3 for a little kick in the pants. |
|
Serving Suggestions:
|
Serve with grilled chicken, steak and fish or use as sauce for tacos, enchiladas or tostadas. |
|
Ingredients:
|
2 pounds tomatillos (about 20), husks removed, rinsed 4 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1-3 tsp. chipotle chile powder |
 |
|
Instructions:
|
1. Preheat grill to medium. 2. Oil the grill rack (see Tips). Grill tomatillos, starting with the stem end down and turning once, until blackened on both sides and slightly deflated, 15 to 25 minutes total, depending on size. Let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, mash garlic and salt on a cutting board with a fork to form a paste. 4. Transfer the tomatillos to a food processor or blender. Pulse to a very coarse puree. Add the garlic paste and chile powder to taste; pulse once or twice to combine. |
