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.

Sunday Fake-Away recipe

What do you base a meal on? With us it’s often what’s in the fridge - an open half tin of Baked Beans on this occasion! As we’ve had a couple of fairly complex experimental meals over the last few days we thought we’d just have an old favourite - Crispy coated Chicken, with home made Onion Rings, chips and home made Coleslaw.

It’s not big and it’s not clever . But it was very tasty!

Here’s the latest crispy coating recipe  (We used Salt and Vinegar Crisps this time!)
