Tomatillo Salsa

Has this ever happened to you? - You stumble on a promising recipe. You think to yourself “I need to try this out”. You then go on to do other things, and a few days later, remember the recipe that you wanted to try, but unfortunately, you can’t find it anymore. This happens to me all the time.

Sometimes, I find a recipe and try it out immediately, but forget to bookmark it or write it down and can’t find it when I want it the next time.

I got this recipe from a youtube video a while ago (may be two years ago?). I made a note of the ingredients. Made it a few times - to rave reviews. Now, when I am trying to write a blog post about it, I have not been able to find the original video to give credit!

Anyway - I make this when tomatillos are in season. It comes out really well and goes great with tamales.

Tomatillo Salsa Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Serves: 4 - 6 people Here’s what you need: 10 small tomatillos, cut in half 2 serrano chiles, slit lengthwise 1 onion, cut into chunks 2 cloves of garlic, sliced 1 cup cilantro, chopped salt to taste Here’s how I made it: Set the oven to broil. Place the tomatillos, serrano chilies, and onions on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the oven. After about 5 minutes, add the diced garlic. Remove after about 4 more minutes. Let everything cool. Blend the broiled veggies, salt, and cilantro, adding water to get the desired consistency. Serve with tortilla chips for an awesome appetizer or as a condiment in a Mexican Fiesta
