Mexican Take-Out Tomatillo Salsa

Mexican Take-Out Tomatillo Salsa


1. Preheat the broiler. Line a 13 x 9-inch pan with foil.

2. Place the tomatillos and chiles on the foil and broil for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until dark brown spots develop on the chiles and tomatillos.

3. Cool, then transfer to a blender, including all the juices that have run out onto the baking sheet.

4. Add the cilantro, onion, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, salt, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Blend to a puree.

5. Heat the oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat. Add the tomatillo puree and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring, until the salsa has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning; adjust if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature or chilled.

6. Make Ahead: This salsa can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen up to 2 months.
