Chile de Árbol Mixed Salsa

Ingredients

• ½ pound tomatillos (husked and rinsed)
• ½ pound ripe plum tomatoes
• 10 to 12 dried chiles de árbol (or to taste, stemmed (with seeds))
• 3 garlic cloves (peeled)
• ¾ teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt (or to taste)

Directions

1. Cover the tomatillos, tomatoes, árbol chiles, and garlic with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 10 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the chiles rehydrate.
2. Lift the ingredients into a blender, add salt, and pulse to a mostly smooth texture with some tomatillo seeds remaining.
