Ingredients

½ pound tomatillos husked and rinsed
½ pound ripe plum tomatoes
10 to 12 dried chiles de árbol or to taste, stemmed (with seeds)
3 garlic cloves peeled
¾ teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt or to taste

To Prepare

Place the tomatillos, tomatoes, chiles de árbol, and garlic cloves in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes, until the tomatillos and tomatoes are soft, cooked, and their skins are just starting to peel, and the chiles have rehydrated.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ingredients to a blender, add the salt, and pulse until fairly smooth but the tomatillo seeds are still visible. The salsa will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 5 days.
