Charred Tomatillo Salsa

Charred Tomatillo Salsa

“T” in our Vegetarian Alphabet had an unusual ingredient thanks to an avid gardener friend – Tomatillos. This is a reasonably traditional Mexican Salsa recipe which we slightly tweaked to suit the ingredients we had available.

Ingredients:-

10 Tomatillos
1 Small white Onion, quartered
3 Dried Birds Eye chilles, soaked,
4 Garlic Cloves,
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp Himalayan salt
Chopped fresh Coriander leaves 
3 Tbsp of Sour Cream
2 Tsp of dried Oregano
Juice of 1 Lime

Method:-

(1) Roast the Tomatillos, Onion and Garlic in a little Olive Oil until charred slightly.
(2) Allow to cool.
(3) Add and the ingredients to a food processor excluding the Sour Cream and Lime.
(4) Pulse a few times to reduce and combine.
(5) Add the Sour Cream and Lime Juice and pulse again.

This would be great with Potato wedges or Tortilla chips and has a real fresh zing to it.

Potato and Onion Fritter recipeThese were intended to be more of a Potato Rosti but our grater wasn't up to the job so I improvised! They were actually more like an Onion Bhaji. Certainly not a disaster, but I'm good to admit an error once in a while!
 
They are there on the plates, just dwarfed by Sue's monster pasties.......
 
We served them with Sue's giant home made Cornish Pasties – Recipe here
Home made pickled Cauliflower and chilli – Recipe here

Home made Coleslaw

2 tsp Garlic salt
2 tsp Onion salt
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
 
Method:-
 
(1) Once the sliced Potatoes have cooled mix all the ingredients in a bowl.

There is a 'Continental' shop not far from us. Next time we have a little spare cash we'll probably get a bag on Gram flour and try a proper Onion Bhaji recipe.
