Tomatillosalsafresca Recipes

Steps:

• Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
• Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large pot & stir frequently over high heat until mixture boils.
• Reduce heat.
• Simmer 20 minutes.
• Ladle into pint jars.
• Leave 1/2 inch head space.
• Adjust lids, process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Be sure to wear gloves when chopping peppers as they will burn fingers.
• Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.
• I use a food processor for chopping.
• If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.

Steps:

• Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, and chile pepper into a saucepan. Season with cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt; pour in water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatillos are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a blender, carefully puree the tomatillos and water in batches until smooth.

Steps:

• Remove the husks from the tomatillos and wash all the stickiness from the outside. Cut into quarters to make blending easier.
• Wash cilantro and green onions well, and rough chop cilantro and cut onions into thirds.
• Prep green chilies by cutting them in half. Remove seeds and white interior veins if you want the chilies to be less hot.
• Blend all in the blender, the idea is to get a nice grind, not a paste, so pulse works well. I'm sure you could use a food processor, but this salsa usually turns out quite liquidy because of the tomatillos. I know my food processor would make a mess.
• If you do find that the salsa is not blending well because of lack of liquid, you can add lime juice or water 1 tablespoon at a time. Tomatillos are tangy by themselves, so keep that in mind when using lime juice. Usually the tomatillos have enough liquid in them to facilitate blending, and putting them first in the blender will help.
• Add salt to taste and enjoy!

Steps:

• Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
• Place the whole tomatillos, scallions and jalapenos on a cooling rack in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the cooling rack on the grill and cook, pulling the cooling rack off the grill to flip the vegetables, until softened and charred on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Using a knife, scrape off the skin from the jalapenos. If you want the salsa to be spicy, leave in the seeds. If you do not, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos.
• To a blender or a food processor, add the tomatillos, scallions, jalapenos, cilantro, cumin, garlic, lime juice and olive oil. Blend until a salsa forms. Blend as much as you need to reach the consistency of the salsa you like. Add salt to taste. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, jalapenos and water in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree just until chunky. Then add the remaining ingredients and puree about 2 minutes more, or until no large chunks remain. This salsa keeps in the refrigerator, in a covered container, about 3 days.

Steps:

• Peel the tomatillo's husk and rinse in water.
• Grill or roast the tomatillos and the peppers until the skins appear burned.
• Do not peel the skins.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, tomatillos and peppers and process until semi-smooth.
• Add the cilantro and salt and process for an additional 8 seconds.

Steps:

• Broil 20 husked and rinsed tomatillos, 1 sliced onion and 4 unpeeled garlic cloves until charred. Peel the garlic and puree with the tomatillos, onion, 1 chipotle in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons cilantro and a pinch each of sugar and salt.

Steps:

• Peel clean and quarter tomatillos. When buying tomatillos it is a good idea to check to make sure they are all good.
• Peel garlic and cut jalapeno discarding seeds (add some of the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot).
• Place tomatillos, garlic, onion and jalapeno in your food processor. With chopping blade pulse several times until consistency is fine and consistent.
• Pour mixture into a sieve and drain off the liquid.
• In a bowl combine tomatillo mixture with 1/2 to 1tsp salt, about 1/2 tsp black pepper, cilantro and the lime juice. I add as much of the lime pulp as I can because it tastes so great in the salsa.
• Taste can be adjusted by adding more lime, garlic or jalapeno. If your tomatillos are especially sour you may add a little sugar.

Steps:

• Place tomatillos in a nonreactive saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until tomatillos soften and begin to burst, about 10 minutes.
• Drain tomatillos and place in a food processor or blender with onion, garlic, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, salt and pepper. Blend to desired consistency.

Steps:

• First prepare the tomatillos. Remove papery husks and then rinse tomatillos under warm running water, using your fingers to remove the sticky residue. Remove stems.
• Chops into quarters.
• Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.
• Blend either coarse or smooth, depending on your preference.
• Transfer tomatillo salsa to covered container and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Good with tortilla chips, enchiladas, tacos, etc.
• I always triple the recipe and freeze in 8 ounce containers.

Steps:

• Finely chop tomatillos, apple, basil and mint in food processor. Transfer to small bowl. Season to taste with salt. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

Steps:

• Coarsely chop tomatillos, then purée with remaining salsa ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.
