salsa verde

we’ve been getting some beautiful and flaovrful produce from the farmer’s market!! i am so fortunate to live in an area where local, organic food is reasonably priced and plentiful.

today we had our first adventure making green salsa! tomatillo salsa, to be exact. and wow. it is amazing! i was verbally given this recipe by the woman who sold us the tomatillos. she gave us really wonderful directions and it was great chatting with her! she recommended coring the tomatoes, but i am too lazy for that. i just threw everything into the food processor and hoped for the best. it turned out wonderfully. the recipe couldn’t be easier and, when packaged properly, would make a great gift!
Ingredients:
**this salsa is SPICY!
15 tomatillos
3 cloves garlic
1/4 of a small red onion
1 jalapeno
1 skinny hot chili
juice of 1/2 a lime
lots of dried or fresh cilantro
1. peel and wash the tomatillos. they will feel slimy and sticky.
2. combine all ingredients in a food processor. pulse.
