Tomatillo Sikil P'ak
ingredients (adjust habaneros based on spice tolerance)
- 1 cup pepitas
- ~6 oz tomatillos (like 3-5?)
- 1-2 habaneros
- 0-1 jalapeno
- garlic (measure w your heart... maybe 2 cloves?)
- 1ish shallot
- 1/4 onion (i usually use white)
- 2-3 cloves
- 1/3 bunch-ish cilantro
- lil bit of oil
- 1 lime or juice
- salt to taste
directions
soak pepitas the night prior in a salt brine, then dry... or skip this step
cook habeneros, tomatillos, and optional jalapeno on comal w/ a bit of oil till a bit charred. then cook on low heat, I sometimes put a lid thingy
at the same time, on a skillet cook your pepitas till golden
peel garlic, shallot, onion and throw on comal for a lil
remove seeds from peppers, or don't, I guess
mash pepitas first till smooth n powdery/sandy, then add everything else plus a bit of oil if you want
cut cilantro very finely, then fold like 2/3 of cilantro in
salt and add lime juice to taste
finish with a bit of olive oil if you have it, cilantro, n flaky salt if you're feeling rly fancy
enjoy!!
