Ingredients
- 16 tomatilloes depending on size
- 12 chiles
- 8 piquins
- 4 garlic (cloves)
- 2 serranos
- 2 jalapenos
- 1 1/2 onion
- 1/4 cilantro
- 1 gr salt
Roast above ingredients in a[n oil-free] cast iron pan, turning occasionally. Leave husks on tomatillos while you roast 'em. The husks will be nicely blackened, the skins translucent, and the fruits soft when they're done. [Let me add: the goal is to blacken the skin while doing the least tomatillo-exploding that you can. That way they don't lose juice into the pan, that burns and smells sometimes. That means moving them around the pan as they roast.] Put roasted vegetables in food processor with: Salt half Teaspoon Cilantro quarter Cup and process briefly. Transfer to a pot, and cook the mixture for 5 minutes. [This darkens it up a bit, and mellows the flavors. It tastes too raw otherwise.]
