  3. Place the chiles in a pan with just enough water cover them, bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Allow them to soak for 15 minutes.
  4. Place the tomatillos in a pan with just enough water to cover, bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Blend the chiles and tomatillos with a little of the tomatillo cooking water, about ½ cup for 45 seconds.
  5. Put the blended salsa and 1 tsp. of salt into a pan over low heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Adjust the salt to taste.

Notes

  • You can serve the salsa immediately but it tastes even better if you can allow it to rest for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  • If you want an extra tangy salsa add 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar when you are simmering.
  • It will keep well for 2 days in the refrigerator.
