Salsa Verde Molcajete

6 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 -6 tomatillos, depending on size
  • 1 habanero pepper
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • salt or chicken bouillon granule
  • cilantro (optional)
  • olive oil (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Roast tomatillos, garlic and chile directly over flames on a grill (or if you do not have one, I use a cast iron fry pan).
  2. 2
    Turn often so as not to burn.
  3. 3
    When they are all soft, transfer to mortar and pestal (molcajete); mash all ingredients--the consistency should be chunky.
  4. 4
    Add salt or soup mix to taste.
  5. 5
    Olive oil can be added if you like, but is not necessary. Cilantro can be added as well.
  6. 6
    A variation of this recipe is to use tomatoes and grill them till charred and proceed with the rest of the ingredients.
