Does anyone know the recipe for Roasted Tomatillo Salsa from Trader Joe's?

We Answered:

Here ya go, enjoy!!!

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA (MEXICAN
AUTHENTIC)

1 dozen tomatillos (soaked and cleaned)
half dozen dried chilies (anchos or the smaller variety of dried chile pods)
half cup onion
cilantro
salt and pepper

Boil chilies and tomatillos in saucepan for about 15 minutes. Process or blend and add onion and cilantro, blend slightly more. Salt and pepper to taste.
This seems like it's too simple, but this is a regional recipe from Mexico and it's great. Very simple and delicious. It has a dark brownish roasted color and people would never guess it was made from tomatillos. You can add a tomato if you want to tame the heat.

Good tomatillo sauce recipe?

We Answered:

Tomatillo Sauce recipe
1 pound tomatillos
4 scallions
2 to 4 serrano chiles
1 teaspoon Mexican lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
1/3 cup cilantro (optional)

NOTE: Do not add cilantro if the sauce is going to be used as an enchilada sauce.

Place the tomatillos and chiles in a pot and cover with water. Bring water to boil over medium heat. If you use high heat, the tomatillos can easily disintegrate if the water is allowed to boil too swiftly. When the tomatillos and chiles have become quite soft, about 5 to 10 minutes, discard the water and place them in a blender. Add onions, lime juice and salt; blend, using pulses, until the sauce is roughly chopped. Taste the sauce and add the sugar, if necessary, and the cilantro, if desired. If the sauce is to be used in enchiladas, blend it for about 15 seconds or until it is smooth.
