Personally, I always leave the skin on broiled or roasted tomatoes or
tomatillos.  It makes the sauce look more rustic and adds tremendous flavor.

Also, Mary-Anne -- the recipe calls for "40 arbol chiles (1 cup)".  It seems
to me that one cup would be the volume equivalent of 40 dried chiles de
Arbol, not fresh.  Any thoughts?  By the way, this is a similar salsa
preparation to many used by Diana Kennedy for dried chiles.  Please clarify.

Thanks.

Matt

Do you peel the tomatoes and tomatillos before transferring to the
saucepan, or do you go ahead and include the charred skin?
