Make a tangy dip for chips with tomatillos, or Mexican green tomatoes, that are firm with tight-fitting, papery green skins. Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds small tomatillos (about 30) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 teaspoons minced garlic |
1 cup water |
1 jalapeño pepper, minced |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
tortilla chips |
Directions:
1. Remove husks from tomatillos; wash thoroughly.
2. Sauté onion in hot olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Stir in tomatillos, 1 cup water, and jalapeño; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes or until tomatillos are softened. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
3. Process tomatillo mixture, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a food processor or blender until smooth. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Serve at room temperature with tortilla chips.
