Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde

This time of year, I find our household with an abundance of green Tomatoes.
Two of my favorite things are fried green tomatoes and Salsa Verde.
I travel to Mexico fairly often and love the green salsas (Salsa Verde) they use. My favorite breakfast is Huevos, Beans and Salsa Verde.

In a blender or food processor, blend several green tomatoes, say about 5 medium size.
Add 2 cloves of garlic, or more to taste.
Add 3 to 5 green fairly hot peppers, i.e. sorranos, jalapeƱos etc...
Add 1 about 1/2 C Cilantro
Add about 4 T Lime juice.
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend until smooth or you can rough chop and make this more like Pico de Gallo.

Salsa Verde is normally made with Tomatillios, however, I find that green tomatoes work just as well!

Happy Salsa Making! Happy Eating! Happy Saturday! PS A really good Margarita goes very well this wonderful salsa~! PSS! This freezes really well, making it a great festive treat in the middle of the cold dark winter!
