How to Make Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 medium white onion, quartered, 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed, and 2-3 serrano peppers, roughly chopped. Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the tomatillos are soft and have turned a yellowish color (about 10-15 minutes).
- While the vegetables simmer, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of dried chiltepines and 1-2 teaspoons of dried chile pequins (adjust to your desired spice level) to the hot skillet. Toast for about 10 seconds, stirring constantly, then remove and drain on a paper towel. (Alternatively, you can toast the chiles in a deep fryer).
- Allow the toasted chiles and the boiled vegetables to cool completely.
- Once cooled, add the boiled vegetables and toasted chiles to a blender. Add 1/2 cup of water (or more, as needed to reach desired consistency).
- Blend until completely smooth.
- For a chunkier salsa, reserve 1/2 of the boiled onion and tomatillos. Roughly chop the reserved vegetables and stir them into the blended salsa after step 7.
