Roasted Tomatillo Mild Salsa.  Roasted, blistered tomatillos chopped up with peppers of all kinds, cilantro, and onions all to create the perfect salsa with some heat.  This salsa is best served with your favorite tortilla chip and is the perfect addition to your football Sunday spread!  This is also a tasty treat to enjoy during the summer months while you have some fresh veggies to play around with!  Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day you name it and this dip belongs there! 

I live for football Sunday this time of year and in our home, one of our main focuses is what is on the menu!  This tasty treat we made for the first game of the season this year and oh my goodness we were blown away with all of the flavors!  We used fresh veggies that we still have leftover from our garden and they paired so nicely for this salsa! 

Now let’s talk about that perfect chopped texture I was able to get with this salsa.  Would you believe me if I told you I didn’t take hours to individually dice each piece?  Well, I sure didn’t!  My Hamilton Beach 8-Cup Stack & Snap™ Food Processor with Bowl Scraper & Adjustable Slicing did all the work for me!  All I did was add all of the veggies and herbs and pulsed the food processor to get that perfect chop!  Talk about making football Sunday apps easy! The Hamilton Beach 8-Cup Stack and Snap Food Processor does it all!  It can chop, slice, puree, mix dough, literally everything you could possibly ask for with a food processor!  And the bowl scraper is a life saver!  No more removing the lid to scrape the sides, talk about making my life way simpler and I am here for it!

The Steps to make Roasted Tomatillo Mild Salsa:

1. Peel your tomatillos.  On a stove or over a flame, roast your tomatillos until they are blistered.  If you do not have a way to blister them, bake them at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
2. Cut all of your larger veggies (onions, bell peppers, etc.) into fourths so that they can fit in the food processor. 
3. Add in the onion, bell pepper, cayenne peppers, tomatillos, banana pepper, jalapenos, and cilantro. 
4. Pulse the food processor 6-10 times until you have a chopped texture.  Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

The difference between pulsing and pureeing.

It is very important that you know how to use your food processor in order to get the most desired results. When you pulse your food processor, you press down on the start button for a second or two at a time just enough for the veggies inside to slightly chop. When you puree, you press down on the start button for an extended amount of time creating more of a liquid consistency. Both are delicious for salsas, it just depends on the texture you desire!
