Red And Green Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 dried chipotle chile (or 1 canned)
    1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded
    1 lb tomatillo, husks removed (about 6)
    2 medium tomatoes, stemmed
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    salt and pepper, to taste
    2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.
    Place chipotle pepper and jalapeno pepper in small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Set aside until chipotle is softened, about 30 minutes, and drain.
    Meanwhile place tomatillos and tomatoes in a shallow metal baking pan and roast in oven for 15-20 minutes.
    Transfer to a blender and add drained peppers (you might want to seed the chipotle first and start with half a pepper each and adjust according to taste) and oil, oregano, marjoram, lime juice, salt & pepper and cilantro, if desired. Blend well until smooth.
