CHILE MORITA SALSA

I have been eating exclusively Mexican food for the past 2 weeks. My awesome girlfriend from Mexico is visiting plus there is a new Mexican grocery store on Southland Drive, "Supermarket Aguascalientes," which made it convenient to buy ingredients.

Here is a simple salsa recipe made with tomatillos which has a smoky flavor due to the chile morita pods which are dried smoked jalapenos. We put this salsa on almost everything we ate! So delicious!

Find the recipe at “Dora’s Table”: Chile Morita Salsa.

If you are not familiar with tomatillos, read this: What is a tomatillo?

Here is a nice blog article about tomatillos...just ignore the burrito recipe mentioned at the end! Tomatillo Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits

What we did differently:

-Made a double batch.

-Used only 1 pepper per pound of tomatillos since my husband does not handle spicy hot food.

-Used a mortar and pestle (molcajete) for grinding but using a blender is an option.
