Fire-Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

[stepstephens2]

Ok, making green salsa is about 1000% times easier than doing red! No blanching, peeling, and seeding of tomatoes... I simply husked, washed, and roasted the suckers on the bbq to blacken them a bit. I used my food processor for everything except the garlic. My husband LOVES this on tacos.

So take these:

And turn it into this:

Recipe

5 1/2 cup husked, washed, fire-roasted, and chopped tomatillos
1 cup chopped onion
I cup chopped peppers (I used 1/4 serranos and 3/4 Hungarian yellow- and I did not seed, I like it spicy)
3 cloves garlic, minced finely
1/2 cup white vinegar
4 tbs. lemon juice
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt

I food processed the onions super-fine then measured out, and then did the same with the peppers and tomatillos. Combine everything in a pot and boil for 10 minutes. Ladle everything into your hot sterilized jars and allow 1/2" head space. Process in a water bath for 15 minutes.

Compared to my red salsa, which takes 4 hours to do- this was a snap!

That looks wonderful! I hope I have a big enough harvest to try it!! When I saw the pic, I thought they were green tomatoes!

OMG we make this weekly at our house! But I didnt know I could can it. I usualy just roast 1 lb tomatillos, then puree them with cilantro, garlic, peppers, and salt. We put it on EVERYTHING. It's called "The Green Stuff" in our house and at my dad's in WY I'm so stoked, my dad's GF will be thrilled that we can can it!

I am so growing tomatillos next year! That looks so good, thanks for the recipe.
I grew them years ago and didn't really use them up, but now I know!
