Ingredients for Guajillo and Tomatillo Salsa

  • 3 dried large guajillo or New Mexico chillies (20g total), wiped clean, stemmed, and seeded

  • 1 dried chilli de árbol (5g), wiped clean, stemmed, and seeded

  • 230g fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed

How to make Guajillo and Tomatillo Salsa

Heat a dry heavy medium skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast chillies briefly on all sides, pressing flat with tongs, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

Simmer tomatillos in water to cover in a small saucepan until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a blender and add chillies, onion, garlic, orange juice, and 3/4 teaspoons salt. Blend until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
