Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa
This is an authentic mexican style table salsa. i have spent years perfecting this to achieve the taste of the salsas i had while in mexico. it's a smooth table salsa which is typical of authentic mexican table salsa. you can make it as mild or hot as you like by adding or reducing the amount of chiltepines or chile pequins. enjoy!!
Steps
In medium saucepan add onion , tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover.
Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color.
While these are boiling , add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat.
Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel.
Let cool completely.
When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely.
Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
Sometimes i will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
If you like your salsa more chunky , reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion , dice and stir in at the end.
