GRILLED SERRANO SALSA VERDE



Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde image

Grilling the chiles tames their heat a bit and adds a nice smoky flavor to this green sauce. You can also fine-tune the heat by using fewer or more chiles, depending on the intensity of the ones you have and your personal taste. This sauce goes well with any grilled meat or fish.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

6-8 serrano chiles
1 bunch basil
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch parsley
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
One 8" metal or bamboo skewer

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Thread chiles onto skewer and grill, turning often, until charred and softened, about 6 minutes. Let cool; remove stems.
  • Meanwhile, pluck leaves from basil and leaves and tender stems from cilantro and parsley. (You should have about 2 cups of each herb.)
  • Pulse chiles, basil, cilantro, and parsley in a food processor until finely chopped. Add oil, vinegar, and salt and pulse until a thick, slightly textured sauce forms.
  • Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 unpeeled garlic cloves
1 pound fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed
1 small onion, quartered through root end
3 to 6 serrano chiles or 2 to 4 jalapeño chiles
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon (or more) sugar
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread garlic onto skewer. Grill garlic, tomatillos, onion quarters, and chiles until dark brown spots form on all sides, about 9 minutes for onion, 6 minutes for tomatillos and chiles, and 4 minutes for garlic. Cool. Peel garlic. Trim core from onion. Scrape some of burnt skin off chiles; stem. Seed chiles for milder salsa, if desired. Coarsely chop onion, chiles, and garlic. Transfer tomatillos and all vegetables to blender. Add cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; puree until smooth. Season to taste with coarse salt.
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over high heat. Carefully add tomatillo mixture (juices may splatter). Stir until slightly thickened, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add broth and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture measures 2 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and more sugar and lime juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill.

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE



Grilled Fish With Salsa Verde image

This parsley sauce, made with capers and garlic, is a perfect complement to mild-tasting cod. You could use other fish, or try the sauce on grilled meat, chicken or vegetables. No grill? Broil the fish instead: Put it on a sheet pan, position the oven rack about 4 inches or so below the broiler and heat it to high. Cook the fish for just a few minutes; there's no need to flip it, and it will cook fast.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed (optional)
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup (tightly packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves (25 grams)
2 pounds cod
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender and combine the ingredients in a jar and blend to a paste.) Add the olive oil and parsley and blend to a purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
  • Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.
