Ingredients:
ALL QUANTITIES APPROXIMATE
8 To 16 Tomatilloes depending
On size.
12 Chiles (2_Serranos +
2 _Jalapenos + 8_Piquins) I
Typically use
The serranos and jalapenos
Green and the piquins red.
4 Cloves Garlic
1 smallOnion, really small, or half
Medium onion.
1/2 tbspSalt
1/4 cupCilantro
Procedures:
1Roast above ingredients in a[n oil-free] cast iron pan, turning occasionally.
2Leave husks on tomatillos while you roast "em.
3The husks will be nicely blackened, the skins translucent, and the fruits soft when they"re done.
4[let me add: the goal is to blacken the skin while doing the least tomatillo-exploding that you can.
5That way they don"t lose juice into the pan, that burns and smells sometimes.
6That means moving them around the pan as they roast.] put roasted vegetables in food processor with: salt ?teaspoon cilantro ?cup and process briefly.
7Transfer to a pot, and cook the mixture for 5 minutes.
8[this darkens it up a bit, and mellows the flavors.
9It tastes too raw otherwise.]
