Fresh Tomatillo Salsa
(from Cera82v’s recipe box)
*If raw garlic isn’t your thing, poke a hole in the side of 2 cloves of unpeeled garlic and microwave them for 30 seconds. Peel and add to the blender or processor. They’ll add a mellower, sweeter flavor.

Ingredients
- 4 med (8 oz) tomatillo, husked, rinsed and quartered
- 1 large garlic clove, peeled and quartered
- Hot green chiles to taste (I like 2 serranos or 1 jalapeno), stemmed and roughly chopped
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup (loosely packed) roughly chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
-
Combine the tomatillos, garlic, chiles and cilantro in a blender jar or food processor. Add water and salt. Process to a coarse puree; if using a blender, begin blending on low, at first pulsing to get the mixture moving evenly through the blender blades. Pour into a salsa dish and thin with a little more water if necessary to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Taste and season with additional salt if you think necessary. Serve within an hour.
