Roasted Tomatillo Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the tomatillos, garlic, Anaheim chile, onions and jalapeno on a baking sheet. Toss the vegetables with the oil, salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables until the tomatillos turn a dark-green color and the onions golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Let the vegetables cool slightly. Peel the garlic and transfer all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the lime juice and sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
• The tomatillo sauce can be made 1 day ahead, covered and chilled.

Steps:

• On a non-stick cookie sheet, place the tomatillos, poblano chiles, and onion, and place them under the broiler.
• Broil the vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning them as their skins begin to char.
• The entire process should take around 15 minutes.
• After 12 minutes of broiling time, add the cloves of garlic.
• Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and set aside to cool.
• When the tomatillos and poblano chiles are cool to the touch, remove their skins, stems, and seeds, and discard.
• Remove and discard the onion skin, as well.
• Transfer the tomatillos, poblano chiles, onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender, and pulse a few times to roughly chop the vegetables.
• Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin, and continue to pulse to form a chunky puree.
• Add salt to taste and a little unbleached cane sugar, if desired.
• Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Serves as a sauce for Mexican and Southwestern style dishes, as a sauce for steamed vegetables and grains, or as a dip with raw veggies or tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Place tomatillos and serrano peppers into a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and let cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place cooled tomatillos and serrano peppers, onion, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, garlic, salt, and pepper into an electric blender and puree until almost liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.
• Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Grill tomatillos,jalapnos, onion and garlic in skillet, occasionally turning to toast all side, for about 5 minutes.
• ingredients will blacken in places (this is a good thing).
• Remove from skillet and put into a blender, add cilantro and puree until smooth.
• Heat 1 vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
• Pouyr puree into pan and cook, stirring constantly, until it darkens in color, about 5 minutes.
• Add chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, and lower heat to medium low.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spread the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos, bell pepper, poblano and onion on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss everything to coat. Roast until the vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
• Remove the seeds from the peppers. Put all of the roasted vegetables and the cilantro into a food processor or blender. Process until still a bit chunky. Thin with some water if it is too thick. Stir in the lime zest and juice. Let cool completely.
• Use immediately or pour into freezer bags, label and freeze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a small roasting pan, toss the tomatillos, onion, and garlic with the 3 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until the vegetables are soft and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath in a medium bowl. Blanch the spinach in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain and transfer to the ice water. Drain the spinach well and squeeze out the excess water between your hands.
• Transfer the tomatillos, onion, and garlic to a food processor, and add the chipotle, lime juice, and spinach. Process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the 3/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Season with the honey and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
