Week 13, and we’re headed toward Fall, which means even more and heavier vegetables. If you have a carrier with wheels, this is the time to bring it to the CSA for pickup. We are getting tomatillos this week, and people always ask me what to do with them. Here’s a recpe for roasted tomatiloo salsa. It can also be used as a sauce for chicken, fish or vegetables.
ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
**********************************
1 lb tomatillos (about 6 large), papery husks removed, rinsed
1/2 large onion, cut into thirds
2 serrano chiles, halved, seeded
1 TBS olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro leaves
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Toss everything except the cilantro together.
3. Spread the mixture on a baking pan or in a glass baking dish.
4. Roast in the oven until the tomatillos and the onion are very soft, about 1 hour.
5. Transfer everything to a food processor or blender and add the cilantro. Puree until almost smooth.
6. Chill or serve at room temperature.
This will keep in your refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy, and have a delicious week!
Best,
