Salsa Violeta Purple Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

TOMATILLO SALSA

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.

TOMATILLO SALSA

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.

ROASTED TOMATILLO AND GARLIC SALSA

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.
