Chile Guero Salsa

By chelyc13

From salsas and moles

Ingredients

• 6 large guero chiles
• 4 medium tomatillos, husked, washed, and dried
• 2 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Turn on the fan over the stove. Line a large cast iron skillet with aluminum foil and set over high heat. Roast the chiles, tomatillos, and unpeeled garlic on all sides until soft and blackened in places, turning occasionally. Remove each vegetable form the pan as it is cooked ans set aside to cool.

Peel the garlic. Split the chiles along one side and remove the stems and seeds. Place the chiles in a food processor along with the tomatillos, garlic, water, and salt, and pulse to form a fairly smooth salsa with some texture. Scrape into a bowl. Thin the salsa with a bit of water if you wish. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
