Chipotle Salsa Salsa Del Norte Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, puree the tomatoes with the rest of the ingredients.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Technique Tip: For a chunkier salsa, leave one half of the canned tomatoes diced and add it with the onion - chopped rather than chunked - in at the end.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the lard to rippling over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Break up the tomatoes coarsely with your fingers. Add the tomatoes and their juices to the sauteed onion. Stir in the chiles and oregano. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until slightly concentrated.
• Remove from the heat and let cool to lukewarm, about 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor. Taste for salt (the tomatoes will have some) and add a little if needed. Serve hot at once or store tightly covered in refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days and reheat before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Line baking pan with foil.
• Lightly oil pan with olive oil.
• Broil tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic (with skin on), and onion until browned on all sides, turning frequently.
• Remove skins from garlic.

Steps:

• Add the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, lime juice, cumin, salt, sugar, black pepper, chipotle peppers, cilantro and onions to a food processor and blend until totally combined. Give it a taste to check for seasoning.
• Make the salsa several hours before serving, as it will give the flavors a chance to dance! Keeps in the fridge, covered, for about a week.

Steps:

• Roast 6 tomatillos over an open flame until the husks are charred, 5 minutes. Cool; remove the husks. Puree the tomatillos, 1 canned chipotle chile, 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, the juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Thin with water. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Char the tomatoes on a grill, under a broiler, or in a cast iron pan. Put them in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix together. Season with salt and pepper.;

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, about 20 minutes. The liquid should be reduced by one-third and the tomato skins should be falling off. Set aside to cool.
