Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I love chipolte peppers, especially the ones that come in adobo sauce. They've got such a wonderful smokiness to them, and bring a lovely complex flavor to whatever you add them to. The chipolte peppers in this salsa bring the heat, while the roasted tomatillos and vegetables give it a great smoked flavor. On the heat scale of 1-5, this ranks in at about a 4.5, so if you're heat- sensitive, decrease the amount of chipoltes. For a picture of the finished recipe, head to http://www.28cooks.com Roasted Tomatillo Chipolte Salsa 6 tomatillos, husks removed 4 plum tomatoes 5 cloves garlic 1 small vidalia onion 3 canned chipolte peppers 2 tsp of adobo sauce (from the chipolte peppers) 1/2 tsp sugar 3 tbsp fresh cilantro In a large heavy pan over high heat, place tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic, and onion. Roast 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until there are roasted spots on veggies. Remove from heat, place on a plate, and cool for a few minutes. Place in food processor with chipolte peppers and sugar, and process until still chunky. Add cilantro, and pulse a few times until desired consistency. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours for flavors to mix well. Enjoy! Christiane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
