Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 4 Tomatillos husks removed and cleaned of residue
- 7 Anaheim Red Chiles stems, seeds and membranes removed
- 2 Chiles de Arbol
- 1 Chipotle Chile stem, seeds and membranes removed
- 3 Garlic Cloves peeled
- 1 Lime juice only
Instructions
- Peel husk from tomatillos, discard. Clean the residue from the outside and quarter.
- Prepare chiles by removing the stems, seeds and membranes. Wash under cool water.
- Remove peel from cloves of garlic
- Place tomatillos, chiles and garlic in medium saucepan and cover with cool water. Cook on stovetop over medium heat about 15-20 minutes. Turn the heat down to simmer when it begins to boil too quickly. Once the tomatillos, garlic and red chiles become soft, remove them to the food processor with the slotted spoon. The chipotle will take the longest to reconstitute. Continue cooking about 10-15 minutes longer then remove the remaining to the food processor as well.
- Process in the food processor until smooth, or desired consistency.
- If you like, place the lime in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to help break down its juices. Juice the lime and stir well or process lightly into the red sauce mixture.
- If a thinner consistency is desired, add cool water, a little at a time. Remember that you can add, but you can't remove.
- Serve immediately or chill as desired.
Notes
Makes 8 ¼-cup servings.
Use as a dipping sauce or as a condiment to be served with tacos, nachos, burritos or enchiladas. Can also be used as red enchilada sauce or a cooking sauce for beef or chicken.
Add equal amounts of sauce and sour cream for red salsa crema.
Make more spicy by using guajillo chiles instead of Anaheim and/or add more chiles de arbol. Make less spicy by removing the chiles de arbol.
If the taste of chiles is too strong for you, add 2 ounces of tomato paste and chicken stock or Better Than Bouillon Chicken Flavor.
If it tastes too bitter for you, try adding about a teaspoon or two of granulated sugar.
