     Chipotle - Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Category   Sauces
Sub Category   None
Servings   2 cups

Ingredients
1 pound (6 to 8 medium) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
3 to 5 chiles moritas (aka dried red chipotle chiles), stemmed
1 small white onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 garlic cloves
1sp salt or to taste
1tsp sugar (optional)
 

Instructions
Toast and roast. Roast the tomatillos on a rimmed baking sheet about 4 inches below a very hot broiler until soft and blackened in spots, about 5 minutes per side. Cool, then scrape into a blender jar.
Meanwhile, heat a small (6-inch) ungreased skillet over medium, toast the chipotle, stirring until very aromatic, about a minute. Scoop into a small bowl, cover with hot tap water and soak for about 30 minutes, stirring from time to time to ensure even rehydration.
Turn the oven down to 425 degrees. Spread the onion and garlic on another baking sheet, slide into the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes until the onions are golden—they’ll look a little wilted with a touch of char on some of the edges. The garlic should feel soft and be browned in spots. Let them cool.
Finish the salsa. Drain the chiles and scrape them into the blender jar along with the tomatillos and 3/4 cup water. Pick out the garlic from the onions and add it to the blender. (If all this is too much for your blender, blend in 2 batches.) Blend until nearly smooth. Roughly chop the onion, add it to the blender and pulse a few times until you’ve got as chunky (or smooth) a salsa as you like. Stir in enough additional water to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Taste and season with salt, usually about 1 teaspoon, and the optional sugar.
