Alfredo Garcia

Tomatillo Salsa Roja

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Remove the stems from the dried Chiles and add to the skillet. Toast for 4-6 minutes or until they’ve darkened in color. Making sure to mix constantly so they won’t burn.

Once Chiles are fully toasted add in 2 cups of water, let come to a boil, once boiling turn off the heat and let the Chiles soak in the water for at least 10 minutes.

To another skillet on medium heat, add the oil, once hot, add the tomatillos and cook for 8-10 minutes, mixing every couple of minutes.

Once the tomatillos are charred in places, add the garlic & onion, cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Add the cooked tomatillos/onion/garlic to a blender along with the rehydrated Chiles and 1 cup of the Chile water. Add salt and blend until combined.

Pour into a bowl & serve with your favorite foods.
