Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
This salsa comes together quickly (and can be made two days ahead). If you're pressed for time, there are several good prepared tomatillo salsas on the market. Extra salsa will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Mix with sour cream for a vegetable dip, or add to chicken soup and garnish with strips of fried tortillas.
Ingredients:
1 pound tomatillos (about 6 large), papery husks removed, rinsed
1/2 large onion, cut into thirds
2 serrano chiles, halved, seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss first 5 ingredients in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Roast in oven until tomatillos and onion are very soft, about 1 hour. Transfer contents of baking dish to processor and add cilantro. Puree until almost smooth. Transfer salsa to bowl. Chill or serve at room temperature.
