Chipotle Green Salsa

 

3 medium size tomatillos (husked and washed)

2 cloves garlic

3 canned chipotle chiles, seeded

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Preheat a heavy duty skillet over medium heat. Place the tomatillos and the

unpeeled garlic cloves directly on the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes,

turning frequently, until tomatillos are soft and blackened in spots.

Peel the skin off the garlic cloves. Place garlic cloves, tomatillos, chiles,

and salt in a blender with two tablespoons of water. Puree salsa, adding more

water if necessary. Serve at room temperature.

Variation 1:Add a teaspoon of the sauce  from the canned chiles to the blender

for a smokier sauce.

Variation 2:Use canned tomatillos and skip the roasting step.
