This colorful salsa uses Purple Tomatillos and Purple Cayenne Chiles. Of course, if you close your eyes, it tastes the same as green tomatillo salsa 🙂
Ingredients
1 pound purple tomatillos, husked
1 small red onion, minced
1 purple cayenne chile, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup purple basil leaves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, minced
1 purple cayenne chile, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup purple basil leaves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Remove the tomatillo husks and wash the tomatillos to remove the stickiness.
Mince the garlic, chile, and onion. I use a mini-food-chopper. Add the basil and chop some more. It’s like making a pesto. Remove to a bowl.
Chop the tomatillos (but not a fine as the onions). Fold them into the pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
