Tomatillo salsa

 

Late season tomatoes are one of my favorite things, but you need to be gentle with this peak season fruit. i.e try not to keep tomatoes in the fridge, warm them up and let them ripen in the sun.

Tomatillos, tomato’s green cousins, on the other hand, can take the heat – char them to almost blackened for this late summer salsa.

This tomatillo salsa makes for a welcome, lightly tart and smoky condiment. I love it as an accompaniment to a whole roasted fish or a classic, scoopable dip for tortilla chips, or even a topping for a summer soup – tomato soup, perhaps?

I used dukkah, which I really enjoy, in this recipe – if you’re not familiar with it, you can buy it or make it yourself (it’s a Middle Eastern mix of spices, herbs, and nuts).

{p.s.} more peak season tomato recipes here!

  • 3 tomatillos
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  2. Char the tomatillos over the stove/burner, turning them until they are blackened evenly on all sides. Let cool and dice.
