SALSA DE TOMATILLO
This is the 'salsa de tomatillo' that I grew up with. It can be used as a sauce for grilled chicken, fish or shrimp, as the basis for green chilaquiles (pour over tortilla chips, shredded cooked chicken and shredded Monterey Jack, then heat under the broiler), and as a dipping sauce for chips. Delicioso!

PASILLA SALSA
When dried-as you will usually find them-pasillas are often called chile negro, or black chile. They are thin, small, shriveled, and very dark. They are also earthy and not especially hot, so they yield a rich, densely flavored sauce traditionally used with lamb, beef, and chicken. If you want some heat, soak a dried chipotle or two with the pasillas. If you can find fresh tomatillos, use them in place of the tomatoes. Slip off the papery husks and add a little water to the sauce.

Steps:
- Soak the pasillas in hot water to cover until they are quite soft, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, put the lard in a small saucepan over medium heat; a minute later, add the tomatoes, along with some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the chiles and reserve some of their soaking liquid. Remove their stems and seeds; tear each into several pieces as you do so. Combine in a blender with the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and a little of the soaking liquid. Puree, adding more liquid if necessary to allow the machine to do its work. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve warm or refrigerate.

Steps:
- Place tomatillos in a small saucepan, and add enough water to come about half of the way up. Cover, and cook over medium heat until tomatillos are soft, about 10 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid. Add enough water to the reserved liquid to make 1/2 cup.
- Meanwhile, heat a small heavy skillet or a comal over medium heat until hot. Add garlic to pan, and cook until soft and well charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel, and transfer to jar of a blender. Add chiles to pan, and toast for 2 minutes per side. Tear chiles into pieces, discarding stem; transfer to blender jar. To the blender, add cooking liquid and a large pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Add tomatillos, and blend. Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
