Salsa- Roasted Tomatillo-Serrano
List of Ingredients
Makes 1 cup
8 ounces (5-6 medium) tomatillos, husked, rinsed
2 fresh green serrano chiles, stems removed
5-6 sprigs fresh cilantro (long stems removed), roughly chopped
Scant 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
Salt to taste
Recipe
1. Adjust oven rack to 4 to 5 inches below broiler element. Preheat broiler. Place tomatillos and chiles in single layer on baking sheet with sides. Broil until darkly roasted, blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Turn over and roast other side, 4-5 minutes more, which will give splotchy-black and blistered tomatillos and chiles that are soft and cooked through.
2. Cool and transfer everything to blender, including juices that have run out onto sheet. Add cilantro and 1/4 cup water; blend to coarse puree.
3. Rinse onion under cold water, then shake to remove excess moisture. Stir into salsa and season with salt, about 1/4 teaspoon.
