Salsa Verde
This fresh, vibrantly flavored salsa verde is great on everything from tacos and burgers to fish and baked corn tortilla chips.
Tomatillos are widely available at larger grocery stores, ethnic markets, and farmers’ markets.
For a smokier flavor, roast the tomatillos.
Pro tips:
• If salsa has too much liquid, simply drain it off and save. You can add this flavorful liquid to guacamole, taco meat, or scrambled eggs.
• For a spicier salsa, add one to two additional jalapeños.
• For a roasted salsa, cut tomatillos (with husks removed) in half, place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake at 450° F. for 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft. Place roasted tomatillos in blender with other ingredients as listed above.
