Smoked Tomato-And-Tomatillo Salsa
- 3/4 pound tomatillos (7 large)
- 1/2 cup hickory wood chips
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (3/4 pound)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Discard husks and stems from tomatillos, and cut each in half. Set aside. Line a Dutch oven with foil, and add hickory chips. Heat chips, covered, over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until chips begin to smoke. Arrange tomatillos and tomatoes in a vegetable steamer. Place tomatillo mixture in foil-lined pan. Cover and smoke 10 minutes. Remove tomatillo mixture from pan, and cool to room temperature.
- Place tomatillo mixture, cilantro, and remaining ingredients in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
