Blackened tomatillo and tomato salsa!
Charred tomatillos, grapeseed oil, red onions, hatch chile pepper, tomato sauce, sea salt and a splash of coconut vinegar. You’re in for a treat.
Over the last 24 hours, I ate my weight in salsa while watching the Dallas vs. Giants game. Let’s just say; I’m team Dallas, and I’m not a happy camper this Monday morning.
It’s strange we disagree about these things
.
As with the making of this roasted tomatillo and tomato salsa, we have our preferences. With black beans or without, chopped onions or garlic, on top of eggs or with vegetables, strewn over fries or on top of a salad, hot or mild. 
Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants. I recommend them all except the New York Giants because this salsa is good and the New York Giants are not, on the contrary to yesterday’s win.
- 5 tomatillos
- 4 Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil
- ½ cup chopped red onions
- 1 hatch chile pepper
- 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of coconut vinegar
- pink Himalayan sea salt
- Fresh sliced basil (garnish option)
- Preheat broiler.
- In a baking pan arrange tomatoes and tomatillos. Broil on HI 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 10 minutes until skins are lightly charred, turning after 5 minutes. Once done, add oil and onions: toss to coat. Broil for 3-4 minutes until onions are soft and translucent. Remove to cool.
- In a food processor combine, tomatillos, tomatoes, red onions, hatch chile pepper, tomato sauce and coconut vinegar. Oh, don't forget the juices from the pan, that's where the magic is! 🙂
- Blend until smooth. DO NOT OVER BLEND! Chunckage is what we're going for.
- Season to taste with pink Himalayan sea salt.
- Enjoy with spicy blue corn tortilla chips. Yum!
I digress, now dig in.

I was intrigued by the name, Tonya. Blackened tomatillo and tomato salsa sound awesome. So yummy and bursting with awesome flavors.
Tonya
I thought the name was appropriate since I charred and almost burnt the tomatillos and tomatoes! 🙂

Agreed! 🙂 Thanks Jessica!

Haha…I live in Giants country, Tonya…but I was born in Dallas. Needless to say that I was sad about the outcome of the game, too. (Although I have to admit that the Saints are my #1 team…but Dallas remains a close #2.) Anyways, I’m totally loving this salsa. I love that you roasted the tomatoes and tomatillas…I’ve been thinking about making something with tomatillas lately. And I think I just discovered it! Perfect football food! 🙂

I forgot you’re behind enemy lines. So glad to hear Dallas is a close #2. You should give this a try, crank up the oven and caramelize the flavor of the tomatillos and tomatoes! 🙂 Thanks, David!

This looks wonderful, although I have to admit, I haven’t been watching much of the Cowboys, and I live here in the Dallas area. But I’ll make this for any day or any TV watching occasion.
Tonya
Yes! Enjoy Celeste!
Sabrina Zaragoza
The color is attractive. And It is not too difficult to make, is this?
I think I will try making one this weekend. Thank you, Tonya!
