Cooked Tomatillo Salsa Food

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.

COOKED TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until softened and olive green. Drain and place in a blender. Add the chiles, chopped onion, garlic, salt, and cilantro sprigs. Blend until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat until it ripples. Drizzle in a drop of tomatillo purée to test the heat. If it makes a lot of noise and sputters immediately, the oil is hot enough. Add the tomatillo purée, and stir constantly until it thickens and begins to stick to the pan, about 5 minutes. When you run your spoon down the middle of the pan it should leave a canal. Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. The sauce should coat the front and back of your spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from the heat. Serve warm or at room temperature.

AUTHENTIC TOMATILLO SALSA

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.

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.

COOKED TOMATILLO SALSA WITH ARBOL CHILES

Steps:

• You will need a large skillet or heavy saucepan and either a blender or food processor.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet or saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent. Add chiles and cook for one minute more. Add tomatillos, then pour in broth and add sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat and gently simmer uncovered for thirty minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Taste for salt and adjust if necessary. You can either mash the tomatillos with a fork to produce a coarse-textured salsa, or transfer the sauce to a food processor or blender to be briefly processed to a smooth texture. Transfer sauce to a serving dish and just before serving, stir in coriander leaf.

TOMATILLO SALSA

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.

SALSA VERDE: GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Whether you choose the verdant, slushy, herby freshness of the all-raw tomatillo salsa or the oil-colored, voluptuous, sweet-sour richness of the roasted version, tomatillos are about brightening tang. The buzz of the fresh hot green chile adds thrill, all of which adds up to a condiment most of us simply don't want to live without.
• For the All-Raw version: Roughly chop the tomatillos and the chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, chiles, cilantro and 1/4 cup water. Process to a coarse puree, then scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.
• For the Roasted version:
• Preheat a broiler.
• Roast the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler until darkly roasted, even blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more will give you splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos and chiles, including all the delicious juice that has run onto the baking sheet. Add the cilantro and 1/4 cup water, blend to a coarse puree, and scrape into a serving dish. Rinse the onion under cold water, then shake to remove the excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt, usually a generous 1/4 teaspoon.

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.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Put the tomatillos in a pan of boiling water, cook for 3 mins or until the skins split, remove with a slotted spoon and cool for 5-10 mins. Blitz in a food processor with the coriander, onion, chilli, garlic and lime. Tip into a bowl, stir in the avocado and season to taste.

TOMATO TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• In a pot of boiling water, blanch tomatoes for about 30 seconds. Immediately place in ice cold water, then peel, seed and chop to make about 2 cups.
• In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients together. You can also make this ahead of time, by putting the salsa in an airtight container up to 24 hours, and draining just before serving.

TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Start the tomatillo salsa by heating a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Add the halved tomatillos and jalapeño slices, cut-side down. Nestle halved onions, cut-side down, into pan. Add garlic cloves. After several minutes, stirring occasionally, check pan: Tomatillos and jalapeños will cook faster than the onions, so when they are soft and browning (after about 5 minutes), remove them to a bowl. If necessary, add ¼ cup (60ml) water to deglaze pan and finish cooking onions and garlic. Remove onions and garlic when softened. Deglaze pan again using 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water, and add water to salsa mixture. Cover the bowl containing the cooked salsa ingredients, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• To finish, transfer mixture to a blender and puree until chunky, adding 1 tablespoon (15ml) water at a time, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
