ok, i normally don't brag about my recipes, but i have to be honest, this one made me proud. while i usually think of ways in which i can improve a recipe immediately after i taste it, this one was so good Sunny and i almost finished the entire bowl before i could even think about it... i had to put some aside for my roommates to try, because it wasn't gonna last otherwise.
aaaanyway, the recipe calls for these organic ingredients:
((as always, i recommend visiting your local farmers market for fresh, local, seasonal, organic produce. for this one in the pic. i went to the Hollywood Farmers Market. ))
tomatillos
red onion
garlic
serrano pepper
olive oil
cilantro
sea salt
...look at the picture for quantities, you know i don't write them down! ;) this is a tiny iron skillet just so you know.
(if you're new to tomatillos, to prepare them you should peel the paper-like skin off and rinse them well in warm water)
pour a teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet. set it to medium-high heat and once it's hot semi fry all the ingredients, except the salt and cilantro, until they look like this:
tomatillos should be a bit brown to black on the outside, but you should still be able to see some fresh green. to me paying attention to this is important to what flavors you're gonna end up with. tomatillos tend to taste different depending on how cooked they are.
once cooked let them cool down, then blend together with a teaspoon of salt. i like my salsa a bit chunky, so i don't blend it for too long, instead i use the pulse feature until the ingredients are blended into a nice texture.
pour in a bowl and add some chopped fresh cilantro.
taaah daaaah! get you some chips or make yourself some tacos and there you have it.
enjoy!
