This salsa is unbelievably good. I've actually already made it twice this week. It's pretty simple, too, and has such a good combination of flavors. The tomatillos become syrupy and sweet while they roast, melding perfectly with the smoky, sweet heat of the chipotle powder and the bite of the garlic.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb tomatillos, about 5 or 6 medium, husked and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp kosher salt
Directions:
Turn on the broiler and put the rack 8 inches below the heat source. Put the tomatillos on a foil lined baking sheet and put under the broiler until soft and a little charred, turning once. (They will become a sort of khaki color.)
As the tomatillos cool, chop the garlic and using the side of a heavy knife, mash the garlic, chipotle powder, and salt into a paste. If it seems to dry, add a little more garlic. Add the paste to the bowl of tomatillos and mash it all together. (Do this all with a mortar and pestle if you have one.) Adjust the heat and salt and serve!
