- Fresh Salsa (chile)
-
- If you can use a molcajete, do, otherwise use a blender for waterier salsa.
-
- 1-3 serrano peppers
- 3-4 tomatillos
- 2-4 cloves garlic
- 3-5 tomatoes, fresh or canned.
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- salt
- juice from one lime or lemon
-
- Toast peppers (put them on a hot skillet, turning them as they blister,
- until they are evenly blistered).
- Remove papery outer skin of tomatillos and simmer until they turn from green
- to yellowish olive green (about 5 minutes).
- Mash or blend garlic cloves. Add the peppers and the tomatillos.
- Add tomatoes. Add cilantro.
- Add salt and lime or lemon juice to taste.
-
- Variations: add 1/2 onion. Use a blend of hot peppers (jalapanos, thai).
- If you remove the seeds after toasting the peppers, they won't be as hot.
- In general, the smaller the chile, the hotter it is.
