Chipotle Tomatillo Salsa
This is one of the most beloved salsas that I've made over the years. It's never been served without my family and others raving over it and asking for the recipe.
The complex flavors it embodies - smokey, sweet, tart, hot, and salty - is one reason why, I believe, people enjoy it so much. And the texture is marvelous also, thanks to the tomatillos.
Serve it with chips for a great appetizer or as a garnish for tacos and other Mexican fares.
Ingredients:
18 husked, medium tomatillos
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (Embassa brand is good), drained and seeded
3/4 of one red onion
1 t. finely shredded lime peel
3 T. lime juice
3 T. fresh cilantro
4 cloves garlic
3 T. raw, unfiltered raw honey or more to taste
1 t. (scant) real sea salt
or Redmond Real Salt
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
2. Pulse off and on until all ingredients are finely chopped.
3. Remove from processor, ladle into a serving bowl.
4. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to blend flavors.
Use salsa within three days.
Makes about 4 cups.
