A couple of weeks ago, a co-worker gave me some tomatillos from her garden because she was going away on vacation and didn't want them to go bad. Today I took the plunge and made my own salsa verde with a simple recipe I found on the Internet.
The ingredients were few (tomatillos, jalapenos, a little sugar, some lime juice, onion, salt to taste. The receipt called for cilantro but I omitted it because I'm one of those genetically programmed to think it tastes like soap),the techniques easy (roast the tomatillos, chop everything else, toss into a blender and pulse to desired consistency). The results?
YUM.
Next time I may throw in another jalapeno for more heat, or more lime juice, but this batch is mighty nice. If I can find a tomato salsa recipe I like as much, I may never buy commercial again.
