Salsa Morita
Report
This is a salsa that hinges on chiles morita -- small, red chipotles -- and roasted tomatillos, onions and garlic. You can use canned chipotles in adobo for this. This recipe makes about 1 cup.

Instructions
- Heat a comal or cast iron frying pan over high heat until the surface reaches about 400F or more, about 3 to 5 minutes. If you're using dried chiles morita, toast them on the hot surface for a few seconds on each side, less than 30 seconds total per chile. Put them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them so they soften.
- While the chiles are softening, char the tomatillos, onion quarters and unpeeled garlic on the comal. You want lots of black spots here and there. A tip on the tomatillos is to have your iron surface really hot so it sears the wet, cut surface well. Then don't move your tomatillos until you see blackening on the rim of the cut surface. Remove with a thin spatula -- you only char the one side. You will want to turn the onions and garlic, however. When the garlic is blackened in a few places, peel it.
- Make the salsa by either mashing everything up in a molcajete -- it helps to roughly chop everything first -- or pulsing it in a food processor a few times, or just chopping everything by hand. Add salt to taste.
Notes
- NOTE: This salsa will keep for a week or more in the fridge. Serve at room temperature, though.
