A Large Favor to Ask?? - cjs - 03-14-2010 I very much would appreciate anyone who has access to tomatillos (and likes salsa) to please, try the following recipe and let me know if you like it. And any ideas for altering you might think necessary. Charred Tomatillo & Black Bean Salsa 12 oz. tomatillos, husked, rinsed & cut in half 3 oz. onion, cut in 1-inch slices (approx. 1/2 an onion) 4 to 6 medium size garlic cloves, unpeeled 1/3 cup cilantro, rough chopped 1 jalapeno, seeded (if desired) and chopped 14 oz. can black beans, drained 1 T. lime juice 1/2 tsp. sugar Salt & pepper to taste On a griddle or in a cast iron pan over medium heat, cook tomatillos, onion and garlic, turning occasionally, until charred and soft. Cool; peel garlic. In a blender or food processor, pure tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno; pour into a bowl. Add and combine with the tomatillo mixture, the black beans, lime juice, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to rest in the refrigerator one hour before using. Perfectly horrible picture, but had to use the old camera and yadda, yadda, - but wanted you to see the texture. thanks everyone Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - labradors - 03-14-2010 I'll check the stores for tomatillos tomorrow. They don't always have them, but if they do, I'll give it a try. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - cjs - 03-14-2010 thanks labs. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - Gourmet_Mom - 03-14-2010 I'm going to be at the store Tuesday. Like Rob, my store doesn't always have them, but if they do, I'll give it a try also. Actually, I had planned to play with the Chipotle Chicken Tostada recipe we used for a dinner review a while back and this would be a perfect accompaniment. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - cjs - 03-14-2010 yes, it would - thanks Daphne. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - DFen911 - 03-14-2010 I'll make it today I think I'll do it with a flank steak and grilled tortillas. We're officially on PDT so we get to have it lighter longer and the weather is just scrumptious! Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - cjs - 03-14-2010 thanks, Denise. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - labradors - 03-14-2010 Managed to get to the store today, but they didn't have any tomatillos. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - cjs - 03-14-2010 piddle. Re: A Large Favor to Ask?? - Old Bay - 03-14-2010 I'll pick up tomatillos tomorrow.
