Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Grrrrrgh!
Course : Dips
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 2
 

Ingredients:

1 pound tomatillos -- husked and washed
8 cloves garlic -- peeled
2 medium jalapeno chiles -- stemmed and
1 bunch cilantro -- leaves only
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash freshly ground pepper
 

Preparation:

Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatillos, garlic and jalapenos on a baking tray and broil, turning frequently, until evenly charred, 15 minutes. (The trick to keeping the garlic from burning is to tuck it under the tomatoes.) Set aside to cool. Transfer the roasted ingredients to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the cilantro and water and puree until smooth. Season with the salt and pepper and serve. Makes 2 1/2 cups. Store in the refrigerator 3-5 days or in the freezer for weeks.
