Green Tomatillo Salsa




Source of Recipe


From "Mexican Cooking for Dummies"






List of Ingredients



• 3/4 pound tomatillos, stemmed, husked, the stem scar cut out, and cut into quarters
  
• 3 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
  
• 1/3 cup cold water
  
• 1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  
• 1 large bunch cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
  






Instructions



1. Place the tomatillos, chiles and water in a blender or food processor. Purée just until chunky. Add the scallions, cilantro and salt, and purée about 2 minutes longer, or until no large chunks remain.
   
   Makes 2 cups.
   






Final Comments


For a mellower version of tomatillo salsa, try roasting the tomatillos, chiles and scallions under the broiler until blackened, about 5 minutes. Then place the roasted items in a blender or food processor with the remaining ingredients and purée.
