Green Tomatillo Roasted Salsa

This salsa is very common in the countryside around my hometown Guadalajara is one of my all time favorites.
For many years Juan - Sara’s husband (she was our cook) - he was the one that helped her making the salsas. This green salsa is after his recipe, but less hot, he used to add at least 15 chilies, imagine!! We will only add 6 to make it mild but tasty.

Ingredients:
2 lbs. Tomatillos
6 Serrano chiles
1 Lg. White onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
½ Bunch of Cilantro
Salt

Preparation: Peel and wash tomatillos, cut them in halves and roast them in a Comal or pan- first with open half side up, and then turn them upside down. At the same time roast chiles and garlic. It takes around 8 to 12 minutes.
The Onion and cilantro chopped medium fine and keep it on aside until salsa is ready for the garnishing.
Once the tomatillos, garlic and chiles are done, you can either blend them or use the food processor. If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of water and then the salt to taste.

Let it sit until cools off and then add the chopped onion and cilantro and mix.
This salsa is excellent for Taquitos Dorados, Soft Tacos or as a side salsa for Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
