Green Salsa

[Mental Magpie]

I have found a few green salsa recipes on the internet, but I prefer getting them from people to whom I have a closer connection.  Does anyone have some really great green salsa recipes out there?

Thanks!

I made this one once and I liked it - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/three-chile-dry-roasted-tomatillo-salsa/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=green%20tomatillo%20salsa&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page.

I had to substitute another kind of hot pepper for the pequin, as those were not available at the grocery store - I think I used some dried arbol chiles and added a couple extra jalepenos to compensate for both the heat and the volume.  That sauce was really hot though!

[Hmmmmm]

Are you referring to a tomatillo based salsa?

Yes, sorry, should have been clearer.

We like this recipe and I puree it a bit as I like mine more smooth.  But you can leave it chunky if you prefer.

I also don't salt to taste till minutes before serving/eating.

This is my recipe based on Rick Bayless's.  His has raw diced onion which I do not like.

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Salsa Verde
 

Makes about 1 cup


Ingredients
8 ounces (3 to 4 medium) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
Fresh hot green chiles to taste (1 or 2 serranos or 1 jalapenos), stemmed
1/4 small white onion
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
6 sprigs of fresh cilantro (thick bottom stems cut off), roughly chopped
Salt
Squeeze of lime


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions
Roast the tomatillos, chile(s), onion and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler, until blotchy black and softening (they’ll be turning from lime green to olive), about 5 minutes.  Flip them over and roast the other side.  Cool, then transfer everything to a blender, including all the delicious juice the tomatillos have exuded during roasting. Add the cilantro and squeeze of lime, then blend to a coarse puree. Add water to get preferred consistency.
