For those of you who know me, it won't come as a surprise that I happen to like (no, love) salsa. The hotter, the better. After living with me for nearly eight years, Mike also enjoys a good kick to almost every meal. I believe this happened because I could never make food bland enough for regular tastes, so he eventually just got used to it. Oops! But that's a tale for the book on how marriage changes things...Anyway, here's one of our all-time favorite recipes for green salsa. I tried to tone it down, but feel free to adjust it to your own tastes and preferences. A note on jalapeños: if you like the taste, but don't want the heat, take out the seeds. That's where the heat in peppers is found.
Now, on to that recipe...
Green Salsa
Ingredients
4 tomatillos
2 jalapeño peppers (remove seeds for less heat)
small handful of cilantro
one quarter of an onion
1 garlic clove
salt to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
To Make
Chop the tomatillos and place in blender. Throw in the rest of the ingredients. Blend until almost smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a small pot or frying pan. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes, or until it reaches a smooth consistency. Serve with chips. Enjoy!
