- until about half of the skin of each is blackened
- Remove as much of the skin as will peel off
- paper-like
- without taking the flesh with it Some skin in the salsa is ok
- but skin adds a bitter flavor
- Place the roasted tomatillos in a blender and pulse until mostly but not completely liquified Pour into a small mixing bowl
- leaving a little in the blender Add brown sugar to taste
- just enough to cut any residual bitterness in the tomatillo mixture
- Dice the tomatoes and red onion Peel the avocado
- remove any dark spots
- and dice -- do not squash
- this isnt guacamole
- Finely mince the garlic
- and chop the celantro Add the prepared ingredients
- plus cumin

- removing white core
- seeds
- and stem Broil as you did the tomatillos but do not remove the skin Place the roasted peppers in the blender with oil
- vinegar
- and any tomatillo left there Pulse to break up the peppers
- then run on medium speed until the mixture is almost smooth This is the flavor kick of the salsa
- to be added to your taste Start with half
- gently stir in
- sample
- and add more as you like It wont be extremely hot even with all of the dressing
