TOMATILLO SALSA
This is a standard Mexican salsa that you find everywhere in Mexico. Tomatillos have a natural acidic and fresh note that gives them a little sparkle. (They keep that sparkle even after they're cooked.) Tomatillo salsa is a natural with the flavors of grilled meat, but it is a great do-ahead, have-on-hand salsa to freshen up anything off the grill or out of a skillet.

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.
QUICK GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA
I make this tangy, versatile tomatillo salsa to accompany a range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's always great with shrimp and fish, and it's my go-to salsa for tacos with chicken in the filling, and with vegetables like potatoes and greens, summer squash and corn. I roast the tomatillos under the broiler before blending them to get a deep, toasty flavor. You can also roast the chiles if you want a deeper roasted-spicy flavor, as opposed to grassy-spicy flavor. If you wish to roast the chiles alongside the tomatillos, place the whole chiles on the baking sheet, too; they will be done faster than the tomatillos, only a minute or two on each side. Once they're cool enough to handle, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop, then proceed with the recipe.

Steps:
- Heat broiler, positioning a rack at the highest setting under the heat. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place tomatillos on top, stem side down. Broil 2 to 5 minutes, until charred on one side. Turn tomatillos over and broil 2 to 5 minutes longer, until charred. Transfer tomatillos to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil.
- Add chiles, onions, garlic (if using), cilantro and 1/4 cup water to blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.

QUICK ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
This is a classic Mexican blender tomatillo salsa. Once the tomatillos are roasted there is no cooking involved. Serve this tangy, medium-hot salsa with roasted or microwaved tortilla chips, or use it for quick tacos or as an easy condiment for grilled fish or chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. If you wish to roast the chilies, place them on the baking sheet as well. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side (the chilies will be charred after a minute or two). Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat. If you have roasted the chilies, peel and stem them, and coarsely chop.
- Transfer the tomatillos and chilies to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the foil. Add the onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup water to the blender and blend to a coarse purée. Transfer to a bowl and thin out as desired with water. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

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.
QUICK FRESH TOMATILLO SALSA
Tomatillos, which are closer botanically to the gooseberry than to the tomato, have a wonderful acidic tang. To get the best out of them they should be simmered or grilled for about 10 minutes, until they're soft and the color has gone from pale green to olive. You can use them for a quick, blended salsa (like the one in this recipe) and also for a cooked salsa, which has a rounder, seared flavor. Use on tacos, or as chip or vegetable dip, or alongside grilled chicken or pork.

TOMATILLO SALSA
I was looking for a tomatillo salsa recipe for canning & couldn't find one that suited our Taste so, I came up this this one. Everyone that has tried it likes it. We have a lot of tomatillos in the garden, so I wanted a way to use them.

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.
AUTHENTIC TOMATILLO SALSA
I stayed with the Ceja family a few years ago because I was nosing in on a documentary that was being filmed about their amazing family vineyard and Latino heritage. Amelia Ceja cooked meal after meal of scrumptious food, but unfortunately, this salsa is the only recipe I took away with me. It's soo good, and pretty easy to make. The tomatillos should really be done on a smoking-hot grill so you can get that smoky flavor. Yum.

TOMATO TOMATILLO SALSA
Tomatilla is a widely used ingredient in South America, according to my Canadian Living magazine from two years ago! It's a generic thing to say, since I'm sure each country has it's own way of using it.
