Frank I thought I sent this, but it ain't showing up so here goes and if it repeats. SORRY! This is a nice salsa for fresca de arbols. Enjoy Mary-Anne CHILE DE ARBOL SALSA 1/2 lb roma tomatoes 3/4 lb tomatillos, husked 40 arbol chiles (1 cup) 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped 1 white onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 c water 1 t salt 1/2 ts freshly ground black pepper Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatoes and tomatillos on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 10 or 12 minutes. Transfer to a saucepan along with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook until the onions are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Puree and then strain. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Arbol salsa can be stored in the refrigerator 3 to 5 days or frozen for weeks. This salsa thckens up in the frig. --- "Frank J.
