Roasted Tomatillo Poblano Avocado Salsa Recipes

AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.

ROASTED TOMATILLO-POBLANO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place tomatillos, chiles (both types), onion, and garlic on the parchment and drizzle on olive oil. Add salt to taste and toss together with your hands. Place in oven and roast 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until blistered and softened. Remove from heat.
• Place roasted vegetables, with any juice from the pan, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse until well blended but not puréed. Add cilantro, cumin, avocado and lime juice and pulse until blended. Taste and adjust salt. Serve at once or store in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
• Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

ROASTED POBLANO PEPPER & TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Slice poblano pepper into medium-thin strips, avoiding seeds.
• It is not necessary to use the entire pepper as poblano peppers can sometimes be large (bell pepper sized).
• Peel garlic and chop each clove in half.
• Place all of this in shallow pan and roast for 20 minutes under broiler set to “low” – toaster oven works fine.
• If you have a kitchen torch, you may use this to fire-roast the peppers as well.
• Drain liquid from canned tomatoes and canned chilies, chop Roma tomato into quarters.
• Peel and chop onion into quarters.
• Do the same with the tomatillos.
• Add all of this to a food processor and process until salsa is thoroughly blended.
• Add olives and the juice of the lime and process again.
• Add half of the cilantro leaves, roasted poblano peppers and garlic, black beans (if used) and tequila and process again, adding the corn at the final stage of processing to ensure the corn is not puréed.
• Salsa should be a nice consistency.
• Don’t over-process!
• Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in 2-4 teaspoons of sea salt (to taste), any additional lime juice that can be squeezed and a teaspoon of coarsely-ground pepper.
• Zest the lime and add this to the salsa.
• If you don’t have a zester, simply use a fine cheese grater.
• This adds a great fresh zing to the salsa.
• Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to mesh.
• Immediately prior to serving, chop the remaining cilantro leaves and stir into the salsa.
• Serve with your choice of corn tortilla chips!
