Salsa de Epazote
Report
This is basically a Mexican salsa verde, only with a heavier hit of epazote. It's loosely based on a similar salsa by the great Mexican chef Enrique Olvera; I roast my vegetables, where Olvera simmers his. As you see in the picture, this is rather thick, but feel free to thin it with water if you'd like.

Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatillos, husked and sliced in half
- 1/2 white onion, cut in thick slices
- 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 serrano chiles, roasted, peeled and deseeded
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh epazote
- salt
Instructions
- Turn your broiler on high. Arrange the tomatillos, onion and garlic on a baking sheet and set under the broiler until about halfway charred. Keep an eye on it, as this can take anywhere from 5 minutes for dryish tomatillos to 15 for wet ones.
- Meanwhile, char the serranos over a gas burner, holding them with tongs. This is a better method for charring your serranos because they don't cook fully this way, but if this bothers you, put the serranos under the broiler with everything else.
- Remove the garlic and peel it when it's cool enough to touch. Remove the skins and seeds from the serranos. Move everything into a blender, along with all the other ingredients. Puree. Add salt to taste.
