Smoked Salsa Verde

I love me some salsa verde. I decided to take things up a notch and smoke the tomatillos before blending all the ingredients together. It turned out to be a fantastic smoked salsa verde. I used my Recteq RT-700 to smoke my tomatillos. This is great as a standalone dip or put on top of a burger or some tacos.

Ingredients:

• 12 medium-sized tomatillos

• 2 jalapenos

• 1 garlic clove

• 1 shallot (rough chopped)

• Salt and Pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional) if you like your salsa a little sourer

Instructions:

• Preheat your smoker or oven to 250 degrees F

• Remove the outer paper from the tomatillos and rinse well

• Slice tomatillos into 1/4s

• Cut the stem off of the jalapenos and cut in half lengthwise

• Place tomatillos and jalapenos onto a baking sheet

• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper

• Place the baking sheet into your smoker or oven for 90 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft

• Place the tomatillos, jalapenos, and the rest of the blender and pulse until you get your desired consistency

• Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper if necessary

Enjoy!
