What is the best way to roast a tomatillo, before making salsa with it?

Answer 1

i put them in a toaster oven with chile de arbol then after toasted i put them in a bowl with hot water for 5 min take them out and blend... salt to taste and it makes one spicy yummy salsa!

Answer 2

Put the tomatillos in oven under broil.  Rotate once to roast evenly.

Answer 3

I have lived in Mexico for a number of years and believe me, I've never come across someone who roasts tomatillos to make salsa. Tomatillos are boiled until they turn a dull green, then they are blended with onion, garlic, salt and cilantro.

The fact that I've never seen anyone roast tomatillos doesn't mean it's never done, just that I've never heard of anyone that does that.

Red tomatoes are more likely to be roasted over an open flame to remove the outer skin. I do that when preparing some dishes.

Answer 4

I just put them in a sauce pan with a little water, whole clove garlic and cook on low-med until nice and brown.  

Take your chile de arbol and toast it until black- it will add awesome flavor to your salsa
