• Recipe by Lisa Ahier

This tangy salsa is wonderful with grilled beef, chicken or pork.

2. 2 unpeeled large garlic cloves
3. 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo
4. 1/2 teaspoon sugar
5. Salt

Directions

1. Light a grill or heat a medium cast-iron skillet. Grill or sear the tomatillos and garlic over moderate heat until the tomatillos have blackened and the garlic has softened, 7 to 8 minutes for the tomatillos and 12 minutes for the garlic. Peel the garlic and transfer to a food processor. Add the tomatillos, chipotle and sugar and puree until smooth. Season with salt and serve.
