Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Roast tomatillos on a flat grill for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft.
  2. Next roast chiles until soft and cover with hot water in a bowl to soften.
  3. Blend chiles, garlic, and salt until smooth then add tomatillos and pulse blender two to three times to maintain a thick consistency.

Notes

  • The original salsa is actually made with pasilla Oaxaqueños that are produced only in the hilly Oaxaca region of southern Mexico. They have a strong smoky character, a scant hint of fruit, and a heat level that is pure and sharp but not overwhelming. This chile is not very common in the United States so I substituted using regular pasilla chiles
  • The recipe makes 1,5 cups.
